Withernsea
Withernsea is a seaside hotel community and also civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, as well as creates the focal point for a broader community of small villages in Holderness. Its most famous landmark is the white inland lighthouse, rising around 127 feet (39 m) over Hull Road. The lighthouse-- no more active-- currently houses a museum to 1950s starlet Kay Kendall, who was birthed in the town. The Prime Meridian crosses the coastline to the north-west of Withernsea. According to the 2011 UK census, Withernsea parish had a population of 6,159, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 5,980. Like lots of seaside resorts, Withernsea has a wide promenade which gets to north as well as south from Pier Towers, the historic entryway to the pier, built in 1877 at a cost of £12,000. The pier was originally 399 backyards (365 metres) long, yet was gradually decreased in length with numerous impacts by regional ships, starting with the Saffron in 1880 before the collision by an unnamed ship in 1888, once again by a Grimsby fishing boat as well as again by the Henry Parr in 1893, leaving the when grand pier with a plain 50 feet (15 metres) of damaged timber and steel, which was eliminated in 1903. The Pier Towers have actually been reconditioned.
