Description

Deal is located on the east coast of Kent, England adjacent to the English Channel, which separates England from France (which can be seen on a clear day). Its history includes, fishing, mining and that of a garrison town. It was made a 'limb port' of the Cinque Ports in 1278 and grew to become one of the busiest ports in England, now it is just a quiet seaside town with a small fishing fleet.

Deal's pier (the only one of three that once existed) is the last remaining fully intact leisure pier in Kent and is a Grade II listed building.Its structure was extensively refurbished and repaired in 1997, with work including the replacement of much of the concrete cladding on the pier's main piles. The end of the pier is now home to a cafe/restaurant and the pier itself is popular with sea anglers.
