Lighthouse in Cromer, on the NE shore of Norfolk. Those on holiday hung out the wash, on this day.
Wiki tells us the following:
"The present lighthouse was built half of a mile from the cliff edge and came into operation in 1833.
It is constructed of masonry and the tower is octagonal in shape and is 59 feet (18 m) tall.
Electricity was installed in 1958 to power the light. The Light is 275 feet (84 m) above sea level.
In June 1990 the lighthouse was converted to automatic operation and is monitored from the Trinity
House Operation Control Centre at Harwich in Suffolk. As a consequence of automation the lighthouse
keeper's cottage alongside the tower is now let out as holiday apartment although the property is
still owned by Trinity House. The lighthouse tower is not open to the public but the area around the lighthouse is easily accessible."
