Like many seaside resorts, Withernsea has a large promenade which gets to north and also south from Pier Towers, the historical entrance to the pier, constructed in 1877 at a price of £12,000. The pier was initially 399 lawns (365 metres) long, however was slowly decreased in size with several influences by regional ships, starting with the Saffron in 1880 prior to the collision by an unrevealed ship in 1888, once more by a Grimsby angling boat and also once again by the Henry Parr in 1893, leaving the when grand pier with a mere 50 feet (15 metres) of damaged wood and also steel, which was removed in 1903. The Pier Towers have actually been refurbished.
