Withernsea Pier

Withernsea Pier was a pier in the town of Withernsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The pier was constructed between 1875 and 1877 to attract daytrippers, but was beset by accidents from the outset. Storms and ship-caused damage led to the pier being closed by 1893, and it was completely dismantled by 1903, leaving only the distinctive castellated pier towers on the seafront, which are still there to this day. In the 21st century, a proposal was floated with the idea of rebuilding the pier to a length of 500 feet (150 m), less than half the distance of the old pier.
