High
Light
A small squat white brick
octagonal tower lighthouse with a
traditional light and buildings attached
currently operated by Trinity House
situated on Ling Hill just outside Whitby.
Built in 1858 to a design by James Walker,
the tower is 44 feet high and the light is
visible for 22 miles.
Very
similar design to Anvil Point Lighthouse
in Dorset.
The
Fog Horn building is sited a few hundred
meters away. This was the original
Lighthouse, but dismantled and a new Light
established further down the coast.
Looks
like a Private Dwelling now.
