The New Brighton Pier once stood at the bottom of Victoria Road from 1867 till 1978. Despite its popularity during the day time with visitors crossing the Mersey, of an evening there was fear, especially after dark and on Stormy nights with a high tide. Many reports were made to the local constable in the late 19th century during his rounds of the Promenade that a ghostly figure of a lady had been seen floating along the deck of the Pier. The Lady in question is thought to have drowned several years after the Pier first opened after jumping off the end of the deck during a high tide which she never survived. Her body was never recovered and is thought to still haunt the area. The Lady has been seen on stormy Evenings that resemble that fateful night on New Brighton Pier.
