Lowestoft Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in East Suffolk, England

The brick lighthouse features red and white stripes on its exterior and reaches a height of 16 meters above ground level.

Trinity House built this coastal lighthouse in 1874 to replace earlier structures from 1609 that used tallow candles to warn ships of dangerous sandbanks.

The lighthouse stands as a representation of East Anglia's maritime traditions and continues to guide vessels through the North Sea waters.

The automated beacon projects light signals visible up to 23 nautical miles offshore, operating without human intervention since its modernization in 1975.

Located near Ness Point, this structure marks the most eastern lighthouse position in the United Kingdom.
