SD2466 : Rampside lighthouse (Walney channel middle range rear)
near to Rampside, Cumbria, Great Britain

Rampside lighthouse (Walney channel middle range rear)
Built between 1850 and 1870. The unpainted tower is built with red and light yellow bricks, giving at a distance the appearance of vertical red and white stripes (one white stripe on each of the four faces). This unusual tower, known locally as The Needle, is the only survivor of 13 range lights built on the approaches to Rampside and Barrow in the 1850-1870 period.
