'THE LIGHTHOUSE ON LEGS' FROM BURNHAM ON SEA, SOMERSET, UK

The Low Lighthouse is one of three historic lighthouses in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England, and the only one of the three which is still active. It is a Grade II listed building and stands on the foreshore. First lit in 1832, the Low Lighthouse operated in conjunction with the (onshore) High Lighthouse for 137 years. Then, in 1969 (after improvements had been made to the High Lighthouse) the Low Lighthouse was deactivated; but later, in 1993, the Low Lighthouse was re-established and the High Lighthouse was instead decommissioned). The Low Lighthouse has long been known as 'the Lighthouse on Legs', as evident in an 1859 guidebook: "the writer has heard merry children while sporting on the sands, call this smaller beacon, the lighthouse on legs". The low wooden pile lighthouse is 36 feet (11 m) high, the light being at 23 feet (7.0 m). It was built by Joseph Nelson in 1832, in conjunction with the High Lighthouse, to replace the original Round Tower Lighthouse (which itself had been built to replace the light kept burning in the tower of St Andrews Church to guide fishing boats into the harbour). The new High and Low lighthouses were first lit on 1 December 1832. Travel info : https://coastradar.com/places/united-...
