This is how Llandudno pier's new kiosks look after a £100,000 revampKiosks have been placed back onto Llandudno Pier after a £100,000 revamp.
Owner Adam Williams took the old booths away in January because they had become rotten and needed repairs.
They have been rebuilt at the workshops at Tir Prince racetrack in Towyn over two months and a lorry and crane gently put them back into position yesterday.
Staff now face a race against time to get them ready by Easter.
Mr Williams said: “They date from the 1990s and had become rotten.
“When we lifted them the floors fell out.
“We’ve kept the roof frames but they’ve got new windows, frames and doors.”
He added: “They arrived with a crane and lorry yesterday with out cast iron pieces and now they will be put on and kitted out.
“They look fantastic. People are saying that they look clean, new and bright, and they’re so pleased some money is being spent on the pier.
“But the kiosks have to be ready for Easter. They have to start earning their money.”
Two single and two double kiosks have been brought back to the pier with one more booth yet to arrive.
they will be used to sell food, drink and sweets from the units to customers.
Mr William also plans to sell merchandise including seagull-shaped cuddly toys to promote the Grade II listed pier.
“We all hate seagulls but they are a big part of the pier. Nobody does any toys of them.”
The present pier was built in 1877. At 2,295 feet (700m), it’s the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales.
