The lighthouse on Sunderland's seafront at Cliffe Park dates from 1856, although it hasn't always been sited at this location.
Designed by Thomas Meik, it was originally constructed on the old South Pier.
It effectively became redundant when new, much-larger piers were constructed at the beginning of the 20th century.
It was relocated to Cliffe Park in 1983 as a monument and sea front focal point and is now a Grade II* listed building.
