Summary
| Description |
The octagonal chalk tower on Flamborough Head, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is described as England's oldest surviving lighthouse since it was built as a light tower in 1674 by Sir John Clayton but he went bankrupt soon after it was completed. It was designed for a coal or wood fire to be burned on its top, however it is not clear whether it was ever actually used. It was restored in 1996. A modern (1806) lighthouse lies 300 metres southeast of this tower. |
