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.

Why is there a pier on Walton on the Naze?

The original pier, built in 1830, was built for landing goods and passengers from steamers and was 300ft (91m) long. This pier was badly damaged in a storm in the 1890s. In 1895, the Walton-on-the-Naze hotel and pier company opened a replacement pier 500ft longer than the original. Several extensions have increased the pier's length to 2,600ft (793m), the third longest in the UK. Today, the pier remains as a tourist attraction, with amusements and fun-fair rides. It is also used for fishing.
