Walney Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse on Walney Island, England
The stone lighthouse stands 24 meters tall at the southern end of Walney Island, featuring white-painted walls and two attached keeper cottages with slate roofs.
Built in 1804 to replace a wooden structure that burned down in 1803, the lighthouse guided ships toward the docks at Glasson and the River Lune.
The lighthouse complex represents maritime heritage through its preserved architectural elements, including the original stone construction and keeper cottages from the Georgian period.
The lighthouse received electrical upgrades in 1953, replacing its acetylene gas system, and continued manual operations until its automation in 2003.
This Grade II* listed structure holds the distinction of being the last manned lighthouse in England and the final one to use catoptric apparatus.
