Whitby East Pier Lighthouse is, along with Whitby West Pier Lighthouse, one of two lighthouses protecting the entrance to the harbour of the town of Whitby in the English county of North Yorkshire. As its name suggests, it is located on the East Pier of that harbour. Built in 1855, it is the newer and, at 54 feet (16.5 m) , the shorter of the two.[1][2]
In about 1914, the east pier was extended a further 500 feet (150 m) into the sea, and a new beacon was added to the end of this extension. New lights were fitted to both the lighthouse towers and the beacons in 2011.[3][4]
