Withernsea
Withernsea is a seaside resort community and also civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and develops the centerpiece for a bigger community of tiny towns in Holderness. Its most well-known landmark is the white inland lighthouse, climbing around 127 feet (39 m) above Hull Road. The lighthouse-- no longer active-- now houses a gallery to 1950s actress Kay Kendall, who was born in the community. The Prime Meridian crosses the shore to the north-west of Withernsea. According to the 2011 UK census, Withernsea parish had a population of 6,159, a boost on the 2001 UK census number of 5,980. Like lots of seaside resorts, Withernsea has a broad promenade which reaches north as well as southern from Pier Towers, the historic entryway to the pier, built in 1877 at a price of £12,000. The pier was originally 399 lawns (365 metres) long, yet was slowly lowered in size through numerous impacts by local ships, starting with the Saffron in 1880 before the accident by an unnamed ship in 1888, once more by a Grimsby angling boat and once more by the Henry Parr in 1893, leaving the once grand pier with a plain 50 feet (15 metres) of damaged timber and also steel, which was removed in 1903. The Pier Towers have actually been refurbished.
