WITHERNSEA, East Riding

Gateway to the Sea                                          TA 343 279

Picture
The once 2000 feet long pier at Withernsea was hit several times by vessels and all that remains is the entrance that was modelled on Conwy Castle.

One of the towers became a lifeguard station in the 1950s and then a gift-shop.
