Tate Hill Pier Whitby

A view of Tate Hill Pier with the Abbey and St Mary’s church behind. The pier formed the ancient east pier and was the entrance to the original harbour. From 1822 till 1863 the Whitby lifeboat was housed on the southwest side in a building which hung from the side of the pier.
