Clifford Pier was built in 1933 named after Sir Hugh Clifford, Governor of the Straits Settlements. It was replacing then Johnston's Pier which was worn out also known as the Red lamp harbour referring to red beacons shone over the pier at night as a warning to ships plying there. Clifford Pier was later used as a terminal for tourist and who board small boats or ferries heading for the Southern Island. During the annual pilgrimage season to Kusu Island. It ceases operation in 2006 due to the construction of the Marina Barrage a dam was built and it turns it into a reservoir the place was later turned into retail, leisure, entertainment and a Hotel which included the former Custom Harbour Branch. For those heading to the southern island now use the Marina South Pier.
