The graph looks consistent with mild warming following the Little Ice Age. About 30 cms. or 1 foot of sea level rise in 130 years since 1890 is nothing remarkable.

Nowadays, sea level measurements around the British Isles are made by tide gauges which record digitally and transmit the data automatically.
