Abstract:		 In November 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, University College London) carried out a programme of historic building recording in connection with the development of Felixstowe Pier, Suffolk (NGR TM 300 341). The work was commissioned by Haydn Evans Consulting to satisfy conditions attached to planning permission (Planning ref: C/12/0945 and C/12/1052) for the demolition of the existing building in preparation for the redevelopment of the site. The building is an example of a seaside pier built in 1950 to replace an earlier pier of 1905 on the same location. The pier comprises a reinforced concrete substructure extending 234 meters into the North Sea. At the landward end the pier widens to a large square platform supporting a single storey amusement hall and café. The original pier was built in 1905 to serve steamers making day-trips from London. It served this function until the outbreak of the Second World War when the pier was closed and partially demolished to prevent its use by enemy forces. The amusement hall is still open as an arcade however the outer pier is structurally unsafe and is closed to the public.
