Scarborough Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse on Vincent's Pier in Scarborough, England

The brick cylindrical tower reaches 15 meters in height and features a balcony, a lantern room, and an attached two-story keeper's house.

Originally built between 1801 and 1806, the lighthouse underwent reconstruction in 1931 following damage from German naval attacks during World War I.

The keeper's house now serves as the clubhouse for the Scarborough Yacht Club, maintaining maritime traditions since 1952.

The lighthouse guides vessels with a white iso phase light visible from the harbor, ensuring safe navigation for maritime traffic.

The initial lighting system consisted of six tallow candles displayed through an oblong window before transitioning to gas and later electrical power.
