Paull lighthouse

Paull Lighthouse was built by Trinity House in 1836 but was already disused by the end of the 19th century and is now a most unusual private residence. Leading lights were erected further downstream at Thorngumbald Clough to replace the lighthouse (see the History of the Lighthouses website.)
