Whitby, East Pier Lighthouse (HFF everyone)

Whitby, East Pier Lighthouse (HFF everyone)
Whitby East Pier Light (or Whitby East Breakwater Light), was built in 1854. The stone built lighthouse stands 55 foot high ( approx 16 mtrs) and had a light visible from 8 miles (approx 13 km).

This was replaced in 1914, by the new Whitby east pier light. The new light was built as a wooden framework tower on 'legs', at the seaward end of the new pier extension. Currently operational, it displays an automated fixed red light (red for port).

The view is to the east and Saltwick Nab promontory (see below)
