BMD said, "If the pier does get demolished, I think the Bay will lose something precious and irreplaceable."
Of course, that will then be the second pier that will have disappeared from the Bay.
Rhos-on-Sea pier disappeared 60 years ago and I don't suppose anyone missed it!
It was much longer than Colwyn Bay Pier and serviced pleasure boats between Liverpool, Rhyl, and Conwy. It was sectioned during World War II for defence reasons.
It was damaged by fire and was pulled down in 1954. ZXZ
