context_page_description: Central Pier is one of three piers in the town of Blackpool, England, and was built in 1868.
context_section_description: The pier is central in that it is located between the other two, but it was close to the site of the now-defunct Blackpool Central railway station about 550 yards south of Blackpool Tower. Since the coastline is very straight and flat, the pier simply extends at right angles to the sea front, roughly level with the promenade.
