Folly Pier

Folly Pier is a stone shipping quay, located on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England; part of the Jurassic Coast. It is found on the east side of the island within the area of East Weares - now abandoned.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=East Weares Rifle Range and Waterworks, Portland, Dorset )〕 Other features within the area includes King's Pier, East Weares Rifle Range, Folly Pier Waterworks, the two Salt Pans, Little Beach and Durdle Pier respectively. Although Folly Pier, like many of the stone shipping quays on Portland, dates to the 17th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Portland | British History Online )〕 On the site of Folly Pier there is a tumbled pile of dressed stones at the edge of the sea.〔
==History==

Folly Pier was once known as Old Pier. Folly Pier was one of the main stone shipping places on the east side. The pier, during 1745, was described as being useless, and subject to be destroyed by the sea. In 1765, a new pier on the site had been built, and in 1800 it was named as New or Folly Pier.〔http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownload?t=arch-804-1/dissemination/pdf/Isle_Of_Portland_Industrial_Archaeology_Survey_Report.pdf〕
The limestone quarries of East and Penn's Weares were the earliest to be quarried on the island, and were the location of Sir Christopher Wren's first workings for stone to rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666. The stone was shipped from the adjacent Durdle, Folly, and King's Piers. Once quarrying in the area was reduced, and quarries moved inland from the cliffs, the pier fell out of use, and any cranes were removed.
The surrounding area was chosen for the site of Folly Pier Waterworks, which was built in 1855 by John Coode for the government, to supply the prison with water.〔 In addition to the pier and waterworks, a World War II pillbox is also located near the shoreline, next to pier.
