About: The current lighthouse seen in the background of this photograph is the second tower to be built on these rocks 1.25 miles off Lands End. It was built between 1870 and 1873 and taller than the first one which was only 40 feet above sea level, and the tower itself was squat at 40 feet high this meant that the light was often obliterated by high seas.
