St Agnes Lifeboat Station

St Agnes' Lifeboat Station was situated in St Agnes, Isles of Scilly and provided a service for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution from 1891 to 1920. The lifeboat station and slipway still exist, and have been identified by the Isles of Scilly Council as a Building of Local Significance.
The station opened in 1891 with a single slipway. A new slipway was provided in 1904 at a cost of £5,000 to the designs of the Institution’s Architect, W.T. Douglass. From the back of the boat house to the toe of the slip it was 1,068 feet . It was built of Jarrah wood from Western Australia, bolted to granite and concrete pillars, with the exception of a short piece at the upper end, built on the rocks. Two rails ran the entire length of the slip, on which rested the double bogey trolley that carried the boat. Rails were also laid down the old slip which could be used at high tide.
