Souter Lighthouse and the Tyneside Coast
Standing proud atop the cliffs near Whitburn, Souter Lighthouse was the first in the world purpose-built to be powered by electricity. Its iconic red and white stripes are instantly recognisable, a beacon of maritime heritage along the Tyneside coast. Built in 1871 to protect ships from the dangerous rocks below, it remains one of the North East’s most loved landmarks.
This view stretches south along the coast, with the dramatic Marsden cliffs and the curve of the shoreline leading your eye all the way to the faint silhouette of St Mary’s Lighthouse in the distance. Crystal-clear skies, calm waters, and a slice of industrial history watching over the waves.

Ten years ago I had the opportunity to explore the Sturgeon Bay Pierhead Light. Special thanks to the owners for the invitation and the support. The Pierhead light was built in 1882, and the station was built with a tower light in 1899, renovated in 1903, and
automated in 1972. The lower level breakwall is the only section of the grounds that are open to the public.
This little gem is called the Charlotte-Genesee lighthouse and is located in Rochester N.Y. overlooking Lake Ontario and the Genesee River.

Seaham Harbour Watcher
Here’s Seaham Lighthouse standing proud at the mouth of the harbour, doing what it’s done for over a century – guiding vessels safely home. The bold black and white stripes are a familiar sight to anyone who knows this stretch of coastline.
Built in the early 1900s, it’s more than just a beacon – it’s part of the town’s industrial heritage and fishing story. On a day like this, with the sea calm and blue, it's easy to forget just how wild it can get out here.

Dondra Head Lighthouse
The Belle Tout Lighthouse is a decommissioned lighthouse and British landmark located at Beachy Head, East Sussex close to the town of Eastbourne.
Built in 1832 . By 1999 the erosion of the cliffs was threatening the foundations of the building and drastic steps had to be taken to stop it from falling into the sea. On 17 March 1999 in a remarkable feat of engineering work the Belle Tout was moved 17 metres (56 ft) away from the cliff face.
The 850-ton lighthouse was moved in one piece, using a pioneering system of hydraulic jacks which pushed the building along four steel-topped concrete beams that were constantly lubricated with grease to prevent it from succumbing to coastal erosion.
Belle Tout was purchased in 2008 and converted into a luxury bed and breakfast.
This is view two of this lighthouse.
