Teignmouth lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse on the Den promenade in Teignmouth, England.
The cylindrical limestone tower measures 6 meters tall and contains a red light visible from the sea at a focal height of 10 meters.
The Harbour Commissioners initiated the construction of this maritime navigation aid in 1844, completing it in 1845 at a cost of £196.
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Teignmouth, marking the entrance to a port that exported china clay to the Midlands potteries.
This navigation aid works with a secondary red light at Powderham Terrace to guide vessels through dangerous currents and shifting sands into the harbor.
Early critics claimed the lighthouse merely served to illuminate fish, yet an Admiralty investigation confirmed its effectiveness for maritime navigation.
