First time out for a while if you like this one please like or comment, Whitby West & East Piers.

A map of 1740 shows the East Pier at about 750 feet (230 m) long, and the West Pier to be about 1,000 feet (300 m). However, the first Ordnance Survey map of 1849 shows the West Pier to be 1,250 feet (380 m) in length, and in 1860 the East Pier was estimated to be 313 yards (286 m).These had been repaired and extended in 1734 to 1749, and rocks in the channel between had been removed in an effort to stop sand gathering at the river mouth and forming sandbanks which were prohibitive to harbour traffic. The West Pier is 32 feet (9.8 m) above normal sea/river level, whereas the East Pier is 30 feet (9.1 m) above the water line. The current west and east piers extend into the sea either side of the River Esk mouth and provide shelter from the North Sea. The original end of the stone West Pier was rounded so that it allowed the current to flow into the river mouth. Both piers were built of sandstone in the 18th century, and had the extensions built on in the early part of the 20th century. However, the engineer Francis Pickernell, who worked for the Whitby Piers and Harbour Board, relaid the west pier in 1814, with stone from nearby Aislaby Quarry, which made the overall length of the West Pier 338 yards (309 m), the width is 16 yards (15 m), but widening to 18 yards (16 m) at the rounded end. The West Pier was furnished with a low rail on the river side, which acted as a rubbing rail, to prevent ropes being worn out on the rock sides of the pier. A lighthouse was built at the end of the West Pier in 1831, and this was visited by Princess Victoria in 1834. The East Pier was built to a length of 215 yards (197 m) and a width of 15 yards (14 m) in 1814, with further works between 1844 and 1850. However, both were adapted and were not listed as being complete in their present forms until 1831 for the West Pier, and 1854 for the East Pier. Work on the East Pier during this time narrowed the gap between the two pier ends from 290 feet (88 m) to 150 feet (46 m) at the seabed, and 170 feet (52 m) at the normal sea level.
