The "New" Low Light on North Shields Fish Quay was built 1805-1808 by Trinity House and first lit in 1810.[1]. In conjunction with the High Light in North Shields, the lighthouses were built to improve navigation for ships entering the mouth of the River Tyne. Ships lined up the High Light and the Low Light to identify a safe channel to enter the Tyne. The "New" lighthouses replaced the "Old" Low Light and High Light of 1727, which in turn replaced earlier lights dating back to 1536. The New Low Light and attached building (of 1816) are Grade II listed. The High and Low Lights were decommissioned in the 1990s and are now used for housing.
