A Banjo Pier is a pier in the shape of a banjo. One of the more notable Banjo Piers is the Banjo Pier in Looe, Cornwall, UK.
This pier was created by Joseph Thomas and built by Daniel Taylor. It is the prototype for many other Banjo Piers around the world.
Famous quotes containing the word pier:
“Duccio came not by usura
nor Pier della Francesca; Zuan Bellin’ not by usura
nor was ‘La Calunnia’ painted.
Came not by usura Angelico; came not Ambrogio Praedis,
Came no church of cut stone signed: Adamo me fecit.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
