This is a 9 legged wooden lighthouse located at Burnham On Sea in Somerset and was constructed in 1832.
The lighthouse has a focal plane of 7m and provides a white flash every 7.5s plus a directional light (white, red, or green depending on direction) at a focal plane of 4m. The light is shown through a window at the front on the westerly side towards the Welsh Coast just beyond the small island (Steepholm) to the left of the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is painted white with a single vertical red stripe on its front face and is 9m tall with a conical roof and mounted on 9 timber pilings.
It remains an active aid to navigation.

The old lighthouse at Whitford Point. I believe that this is the only iron lighthouse in the uk and it was sold for £1.00 to the National Trust as there was approx £50,000 needed to be spent on renovation work. The tide was out enabling a long walk up to this old relic. Made explore at number 159
