The lantern was made by Dove & Co., costing £1,100 and the lightroom machine, made by Milne & Co.,cost £418. The light tower is 43 metres tall, and the light can be seen from 16 miles distance. The light began operation on 1st November 1909 but the fog signal, which has since been discontinued, was not completed until 25th June 1910.
