. In time, the harbour acquired the name "Miller's Harbour". On the bay coast, in 1875, a branch line was laid to the landing stage, and the first structures were erected on it in the same year. In 1899–1900 the Kurort's esplanade was opened, and the line was surrounded with two low enclosures. Operation was suspended in the late 1880s but the pier was destroyed only in the first decades of the XX century. Presently only the minor fragments of the former pier can be vaguely discerned; also the Miller's line does not exist.
