Gorleston Lighthouse, Victorian lighthouse in Gorleston-on-Sea, England
The brick lighthouse stands 21 meters tall with distinct white stripes against the North Sea backdrop, featuring two balconies and a rooftop light apparatus.
Built in 1878, this Grade II listed building has provided navigational guidance to vessels entering the port of Great Yarmouth through numerous maritime developments.
The lighthouse forms an essential part of Norfolk's maritime heritage, with the National Coastwatch Institution maintaining active operations from its structure.
The lighthouse signal reaches 11 nautical miles, while the fog horn produces three warning blasts every minute during low visibility conditions.
The structure houses both navigation equipment and a volunteer-staffed coastwatch station, operating different hours between summer and winter seasons.
