Flamborough Head Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure at Flamborough Head, England.
The white brick lighthouse rises 26.5 meters above the cliffs of Yorkshire's eastern coast, providing guidance to vessels in the North Sea.
Built in 1806 by John Matson following Samuel Wyatt's design, this lighthouse replaced an earlier 1669 structure that never operated.
The Grade II listed building represents maritime engineering excellence and stands as a testament to British coastal navigation infrastructure.
The lighthouse emits four white flashes in regular intervals during a 15-second cycle, reaching vessels up to 24 nautical miles away.
The structure's control operations moved from local management to remote operation from Harwich in 1996, marking a shift in lighthouse technology.
