It also wasn't an original landmark at Stanley
The predecessor of Blake Pier was Pedder Pier, located at the end of Pedder Street in Central, and was rebuilt and officially named Blake

The cover of the pier was demolished in 1965
In late 2006, it was moved next to Murray House in Stanley and rebuilt according to its original style.
