Gorleston South Pier Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Gorleston-on-Sea, England
The Gorleston South Pier Lighthouse stands 8 meters tall with a white lower section and exposed brick in its upper portion at the harbor entrance.
Built in 1955 to replace an octagonal brick tower from 1852, this lighthouse marked a new era in maritime safety for Norfolk's coastal navigation.
The structure houses the National Coastwatch Institution, where 60 volunteers maintain maritime surveillance and assist the Coast Guard with navigation safety.
The lighthouse produces a red flash every three seconds and maintains a visibility range of 11 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the harbor entrance.
The facility contains harbor control lights, communications equipment, and a fog horn that emits three distinct blasts every sixty seconds.
