North Yorkshire, Whitby harbour west pier, beach and town in background,North Yorkshire, Whitby harbour piers, light towers,The two piers in Whitby have been in existence since before the 1500’s. By 1540, the two oak piers (east and west) were replaced partially, with stonework (in the reign of King Charles 1), with further work around the 1600’s. Both piers were rebuilt in 1735, each measuring approximately 183m, but by 1814 the west pier was further extended to reach a length of 309m. In 1905, both the piers had new pier ends built on, each of a length of 152m.
