More about this scene
The lighthouse was built in 1791, and an occulting light and the famous red stripes were added in 1883. Changed to electricity in 1942, the lighthouse was eventually given up by Trinity House in 1987. A private Act of Parliament was brought by locals to save it, and today, beautifully restored, the lighthouse is maintained by a trust who have been granted a 99-year lease.
