Ltd. was registered in November 1890 and work began to build the pier in 1892. It was constructed, at a total cost of £50,000, using a different method than that used for <a href="/wiki/North_Pier,_Blackpool" title="North Pier, Blackpool">North</a> and <a href="/wiki/Central_Pier,_Blackpool" title="Central Pier, Blackpool">Central</a> piers, the Worthington Screwpile System, by the company owned by Alderman James Heyes, a twice major of Blackpool. It opened, with a choir, two brass bands and an orchestra on <a href="/wiki/Good_Friday" title="Good Friday">Good Friday</a> 1893. The 3,000 capacity Grand Pavilion opened on 20 May. At 163 yards (149 m) long, it was the shortest of the three piers, and had 36 shops, a bandstand, an ice-cream vendor and a photograph stall. It was built shorter and wider than North and Central piers to accommodate pavilions.<sup id="cite_ref-ESP_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ESP-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-gazette1121672_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gazette1121672-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=South_Pier,_Blackpool&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Victoria Pier was considered to be more "upmarket" than North and Central piers, and at first provided little entertainment. Holidaymakers started visiting the South Shore in 1896 when a <a href="/wiki/Carousel" title="Carousel">carousel</a> was installed on the <a href="/wiki/Dune" title="Dune">sand dunes</a>. In 1902 the south entrance of the promenade was widened with the construction of the present promenade, and the pier entrance had to be moved back. In 1930 the pier was renamed South Pier. In 1938 the entrance was widened, and the Regal Pavilion constructed.<sup id="cite_ref-BBCTD-3_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCTD-3-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ESP_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ESP-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Two fires in six years changed the pier dramatically.
