Thorngumbald Clough Low Lighthouse

Thorngumbald Clough Low Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1870 for Trinity House, later attached to its base. It features a brick and flagstone base with iron rails supporting a tower made of a rivetted wrought-iron frame, casing, and balcony, all painted white. The base is rectangular, approximately 2 metres high, with a flagstone top that has a pair of rails on bolted brackets. A flight of wooden steps leads up to the lighthouse door on the south side.

The lighthouse itself is a tapered round tower with two stages, standing about 10 metres high, and is fixed to the base by a square concrete plinth. The first stage has a low door with strap hinges and a projecting rectangular window above it. The upper stage features angle struts that support a cast-iron balcony with plain railings, a small door with strap hinges, and a small projecting square window above, along with a larger projecting square window to the north. It has a gutter and a domed cap with a cylindrical ventilator.

This lighthouse has an unusual and innovative design, originally intended to establish a new line for vessels approaching between Paull and The Hebbles. It is part of a series of Humber Estuary Lights, which includes lighthouses at Spurn Point, Easington parish, and South Killingholme on the south bank. Together with the nearby High Lighthouse to the south and others at Salt End (now removed), it replaced the lighthouse at Town End Road, Paull. The lighthouse is still in operation.
