历史

[编辑]
圣尼古拉教堂

和许多海滨度假地类似,威瑟恩西亦有一条海滨大道。其南端出发点是栈桥塔(也是栈桥的入口),修建于1877年,耗资1.2万英镑。栈桥最初长399码(365米),但由于数次船只碰撞而缩减长度。1903年,码头塔进行了翻新[3]

19世纪中期,随着赫尔和霍德尼斯铁路英语Hull and Holderness Railway的竣工,威瑟恩西和赫尔河畔金斯顿之间有铁路相连,令维多利亚时代工人和他们的家庭前往威瑟恩西度假的费用变得低廉,亦促进威瑟恩西的经济成长。但这条铁路已在1964年废除[4]。和英国众多海滨度假地类似,威瑟恩西面临游客减少的情况[5]

经济

在未能并购Proudfoot超市之后,乐购在威瑟恩西开设了一家门店,并推出过购物20英镑即返现8英镑的活动[6]。这引发了竞争委员会英语Competition Commission的调查[7][8]

镇中心附近有一个9洞的高尔夫球场,并有休闲中心、酒吧、餐厅等设施[9]
