Tenby Lifeboat Station is a lifeboat station in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales that has been situated to the east of the town since 1852, three generations having been built; the original and updates in 1905 and 2005.
The original station was established in 1852, by The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society.
Due to difficulty with launching from the harbour site when the time came to replace the boat in 1905 with a larger and heavier one, a new boathouse (the red & white building in my shot) and roller slipway were built on the north side of Castle Hill. It was constructed using the new screw-piles that had been created for the foundations in deep sand of Victorian era pleasure piers.
Having obtained an extended lease from the Crown Estate, the RNLI obtained planning permission from the council to build a new lifeboat station on the site of the demolished Victorian era pleasure pier in 2005 (the timber clad building in my shot).
