Southwold Lighthouse

We took my brother and sister in law out to lunch today to the pier at Southwold, fish and chips - lovely - and walked up into the town to blip the lighthouse, which is surprisingly a couple of streets from the beach.

This lighthouse was built in 1887 and first lit 19th February 1889 but came into operation on the 3rd September 1890. It was electrified and demanned in 1938. The range was changed in December 2012 from 17 to 24 Nautical Miles to compensate for Orfordness Lighthouse being decommissioned.
