This is on Roe Island, the ferry jetty for the Piel Island ferry and the lifeboat station.

I have just been reminded where I heard of Piel Island before.
It was the landing place of Lambert Simnal invasion force in 1487.
He was the boy child that the Yorkists tried to use as a substitute for the real heir to the throne in their last ditch stand in the war of the roses. Needless to say the army was routed by Henry VII in Newark and my remaining Yorkist ancestors legged it back to Halifax. Small world.
