Description
The North Lookout is a pilot and lifeboat station built around 1850, with a lifeboat station added in the 20th century. It is made of red brick with gault brick dressings and features slate roofs. The exterior includes a four-storey square tower with decorative saw-toothed gault brick quoins at the corners and two-course bands at each floor level. The upper two floors have single-light casements with segmental heads, and the west side has a blank plaster cartouche on the second stage. There is a corbelled eaves cornice beneath the pyramidal roof. Attached to the east is a single-storey lifeboat station. The interior has not been inspected. The pilot station was built in competition with the South Lookout.
