The view around the west pier towards the west pier lighthouse at Whitehaven. The West Pier Lighthouse and outer harbour were built in 1832 for £150,000, a fraction of the cost today. Almost unbelievably the Harbour Commissioners were reluctant to build it and only the shipmaster’s constant demands changed their minds. Both piers took 25 years to build.
