Its most famous spots is the white inland lighthouse, increasing around 127 feet (39 m) over Hull Road. The lighthouse-- no longer active-- currently houses a gallery to 1950s actress Kay Kendall, who was born in the town.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 number of 5,980. Like numerous seaside resorts, Withernsea has a large boardwalk which reaches north and also southern from Pier Towers, the historical entry to the pier, built in 1877 at an expense of £12,000. The pier was originally 399 lawns (365 metres) long, yet was progressively reduced in length via a number of influences by local ships, starting with the Saffron in 1880 before the crash by an unnamed ship in 1888, once again by a Grimsby angling watercraft and also again by the Henry Parr in 1893, leaving the when grand pier with a simple 50 feet (15 metres) of harmed timber and steel, which was removed in 1903. The Pier Towers have actually been reconditioned.
