Start Point Lighthouse, United Kingdom
From series “Top 15 Most Fascinating Lighthouses”
Start Point Lighthouse is located on the similarly-named mull on the territory of Devon country. This lighthouse was built in 1836 and still works. James Walker, a famous engineer, has worked out the plan of the lighthouse. Also, he has planned 28 unique towers. This 28 meters height lighthouse was automatized in 1993.
Since the lighthouse was opened, all its parts have been modernizing and improving year by year. In 1865 the lighthouse was equipped with the anti-fog bell and in 1877 it was placed for the audible horn. Nowadays the lighthouse is a very valuable architectural monument that was built in gothic style.
