This is a two-part Lighthouse of the Week (and yes, this one is late). Might even be a three-parter. That's because there are two lights by the entrance to this harbor, which is literarily -- I spelled that right -- notable. More on that in the next installment. This time, we'll go straight to the light.
Here's more: Whitby Lighthouses
The info on the Whitby East Pier Light:
"1855. Inactive since about 1914. 17 m (55 ft) round cylindrical stone tower with lantern and gallery, mounted on a square base. Tower unpainted, lantern painted white with a black dome. ... The Whitby piers were extended in 1914, and the active lights were moved to wood skeletal towers at the ends of the extensions. Located at the original end of the east pier; accessible by walking the pier. Site open, tower closed."
