Quick facts
The harbour arm was built between 1812 and 1815 to a design by the engineer John Rennie.
At its far end stands Shell Lady, a bronze by Ann Carrington honouring Sophia Booth, the Margate landlady and companion of J.M.W. Turner.
It begins right beside Turner Contemporary, so the gallery and the pier make an easy pair.
