lighthouse built with natural white and
natural red stone to give a horizontal
striped effect with a traditional light

Admiralty
A 2684X
South
Pier - A tall white painted circular cast
iron tower lighthouse with a traditional
light on top. It once stood on the end of
the South pier but as a redundant light it
was moved to its current location in Roker
Cliff Park in 1982.
Built
in 1856 the tower is 50 feet high and the
light was visible for 10 miles.
Although
this is the South Pier Light, it is now
located North of the North Pier Light.
Really confusing....
Roker
North Pier can be seen in the distance.
