The outer harbour at Mevagissey on the south coast of Cornwall dates from the end of the 19th century though the inner harbour dates back to medieval times. A small power station, with the generators powered by pilchard oil, was built in the 1890s and this supplied electricity for the town's roads and for the small lighthouse at the end of the harbour. There is a similar lighthouse at St Ives.
