Whitehaven Lighthouses
Restoration and refurbishment of historic lighthouses on the Whitehaven harbourside.
Refurbishment of the West and North pier lighthouses along Whitehaven harbourside.
The desire was to visibly demonstrate to our communities and visitors that regeneration is ongoing. This is Part of Pride of place and links together investments along the stretch of the harbour. The Lighthouses are aids to navigation so perform an important task for all of the commercial and leisure boat users accessing Whitehaven by sea.
