Bamburgh Lighthouse, also known as Black Rocks Point Lighthouse, was constructed by Trinity House in 1910 to guide ships along the Northumberland coast and around the Farne Islands. It underwent significant modernization in 1975 and is now managed from the Trinity House Operations and Planning Centre. Routine upkeep is performed by a local attendant. This lighthouse is England's northernmost land-based one, with a white building and black lantern. Originally, it had a lamp on a skeletal steel tower, later replaced by a lantern atop the acetylene building, which was also connected to mains electricity. The light has a characteristic pattern of two eclipses every 15 seconds, and it has a range of 14 nautical miles for white light and 11 nautical miles for red and green lights.
