Dover Promenade Pier was opened in May 1893 and is visible on the Ordnance Survey 1899 edition. The pier offered promenade facilities and summer concerts in the pavilion until 1913 when it was purchased by the Admiralty to serve as a naval landing stage. Used as such during the First World War, it never returned to public use. The pier was finally demolished in 1927. The area was given a monument polygon during historic mapping enhancement as part of Phase 1 of the South East Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey.
