Thalassery, India
Pier
N/A
Good for kids
It is an old pier extending out into the Arabian Sea. It is frequented by people taking evening walks. This "Kadalpalam" was used as a commercial access through the sea, to and from the Tellicherry Bazar, during the European rule. It is an old story now. At present it is in a deteriorating state. Now it can be preserved as a Tourist Centre. It was in 1910 that the East India Company constructed the pier which extends to the Arabian Sea for transporting commodities to and from ships. The large rocks on the shore and shallow waters often led to shipwrecks and hence the pier was constructed, with huge cranes placed at its end and rail tracks on either side for easy transport of goods from the godowns situated at the shore. A busy commercial centre then, Thalassery witnessed brisk development with its export of spices, coffee, fish, wood, and pepper, attracting people from all over. The town became an administrative centre of operations and the judicial headquarters while the port stood a mute observer to the glory of the town and its development. It was the advent of the Mangalore port which reduced its significance principally, while many more aspects contributed to its slow degeneration. The ships disappeared, and gradually the cranes and the trolley tracks.

Good sea view point.. good for evening and morning hangout..
Thalassery Pier locally known as Kadalpalam is located in Thalassery, Kannur District. Best place to Relax or hangout,
Beautiful place to spend some time with your family in evening time. Sun set view will be excellent.
Nice and beautiful. But not a clean place. The bridge has some broken edges.
But now it is on maintenance work.I think maintenance work complete around one year.
The best sea bridge built by britishers. Nice to see it's vintage view. But now unfortunately its closed due to its dangerous condition.
Some glimpses of the historic Thalassery. See bridge is currently closed and thee beach road is getting renovated.
