Volunteers surprised at state of structure
A community group planning to restore the Queen's Pier in Ramsey says it's in a 'surprisingly good' condition.
The Queen's Pier Restoration Trust has gained approval to begin work on the site, once it secures a signed lease from government.
Despite having closed in 1990, volunteers hope the 130 year old structure can become a fully-functioning tourist attraction once again.
It's estimated the full restoration will take around five years, at a cost of £1.5 million.
Despite being left for more than 25 years, the Trust's manager Tom Durrant says the Pier isn't as derelict as he once feared:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
