Heugh Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse at The Headland, Hartlepool, England.
The white cylindrical steel tower rises 16 meters above The Headland, providing essential navigation signals for vessels approaching the North Sea coast.
The initial 1847 sandstone structure survived German attacks in 1914 but was dismantled in 1915 to prevent interference with defensive gun positions.
The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Hartlepool, standing as a testament to the region's connection with seafaring and port activities.
Operated by PD Ports, the automated lighthouse emits two white flashes every ten seconds and includes a backup generator system for continuous operation.
The current structure, built in 1927, features a modular design that allows for rapid dismantling during wartime situations.
