Withernsea Pier

The original Withernsea Pier was completed in 1878. Over the years many ships colided with the pier until there was only 50ft remaining of the once grand pier. Rebuilding the Pier has been suggested many times over the years, but despite being one of the top ten priorities for Withernsea, it has never happened. In 2016, the Withernsea Pier and Promenade Association was formed with the main aim to rebuild the Pier in Withernsea.

After 7 years and thousands of hours of volunteer work, the board and steering group members are fatigued by the endless battle with east riding of yorkshire council. It is therefore with great sadness that we have to admit that rebuilding the Withernsea Pier is no longer a viable option. On the 24th of April 2023, a resolution was proposed by the directors to cease trading and to wind up the Withernsea Pier and Promenade Association. All the assets have now been sold off, and our main funders have been repaid. We have contacted nearly 600 people who have given money towards building the pier, and everyone who requested it have been given a full refund. The remaining funds were handed over to Shores to be spent on improving the Withernsea promenade and surrounding area.
