Killingholme South Low Lighthouse

Killingholme South Low Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1836 by Francis Dales for Trinity House. It is made of brick, rendered, and colourwashed. The structure is a 4-storey tapered round tower, approximately 15 metres high, featuring small rectangular projections on the south face. The south side has a plain recessed board door, with recessed louvred openings on the ground and first floors. The second floor has 6-pane casements. The top floor has a balcony supported by projecting timber joists, with plain iron railings. This floor also features a plinth and a wide east-facing window with 18 panes, which is partly painted over. The lighthouse is topped with a ribbed dome that has scalloped eaves and is capped with a squat cylindrical ventilator. It has a projecting stack with a cornice and three cylindrical pots. Although no longer manned, the lighthouse works in conjunction with the nearby Killingholme High Light to guide shipping in the Humber. The date of erection and the names of wardens are recorded on a plaque at Killingholme High Lighthouse.
