Tynemouth Pier and Lighthouse
Work on the North Pier in Tynemouth began in 1854 and on the South Pier (in South Shields) in 1856. Both piers were originally constructed in a curved shape, however, following a series storms the central section of the North Pier was damaged and the pier was rebuilt in a straight line. Work on the current North Pier began in 1898 and was finally completed in 1910.
