Dungeness Lighthouse

Dungeness Lighthouse on the Dungeness Headland started operation on 20 November 1961 and is constructed of precast concrete rings. Its pattern of black and white bands is impregnated into the concrete. It remains in use today, monitored and controlled from the Trinity House Operations and Planning Centre at Harwich, Essex. Dungeness Lighthouse is the fifth lighthouse at Dungeness. Construction of the Dungeness nuclear power stationobscured the light of the 1904 lighthouse and necessitated yet another lighthouse.
