Northfleet Low Lighthouse

The current Lighthouse dates back to 1883 and is an ornate red painted steel lattice tower, standing 16 metres in height; it has 3 equipment platforms (Not including the Gallery). The Light was converted to Electric Operation in 1975 and before that ran on 'town gas' (gas generated by burning coal) for a short time, but despite this, the sun valve which originally turned the Acetylene gas supply off during the day, still remains on back of the lantern. Difficult to access - see PiP!
