Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Tower Trig Point, Flamborough, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Triangulation pillar with O/S flush bracket No.S6327, off the north side of Lighthouse Road at Flamborough Head. The triangulation pillar is the smaller white thing on the left. The rather larger white thing on the right is the oldest surviving lighthouse in England, built by Sir John Clayton in 1674. It was designed to have a coal or brushwood fire lit on its top but there is no way of knowing if it was ever used. Clayton got permission from King Charles II to build three such lighthouses in England but went bankrupt before the other two could be built. Flamborough has a rather more modern lighthouse these days a little further east. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/835820 The old lighthouse was restored in 1996 using 20 tons of chalk at a cost of £100,000. |
