Happisburgh lighthouse, Norfolk - a photo on Flickriver

            Happisburgh lighthouse is the oldest working light in East Anglia, and the only independently run lighthouse in Great Britain.
Built in 1790, orginally one of a pair – the tower is 85 ft. tall and the lantern is 134 ft. above sea level. The ‘low light’ which was discontinued in 1883 was 20 ft. lower and the pair formed leading lights marking safe passage around the southern end of the treacherous Haisborough Sands.
Today the lighthouse is painted white with three red bands, and has a light charcteristic of Fl (3) W 30s (3 white flashes, repeated every 30secs) with a range of 18 miles.
Saved as a working light by the local community, it is maintained and operated entirely by voluntary contributions.
The lighthouse and the two lighthouse keepers cottages gained Grade: II listed building status on 11th. May 1987. (English Heritage Legacy ID: 224255).
