What is believed to be the original lighthouse was built in 1806 by a local customs officer to warn of the dangers of the rocky coast, some 174 ships having foundered off the coast in the previous 36 years.
The present lighthouse, a towering 92’ high and with over 3.5 million candle power is visible from the sea for some 21 miles.
The light is visible at Scarborough and as far as Whitby to the north and the River Humber to the south.
