ENVIRONMENT

As the sandbanks shifted and Pakefield lighthouse was declared redundant and closed in 1864. The lighthouse’s 10m high tower has since been used as a war-time oservation post, store-room and holiday camp darkroom. 

1850 Pakefield Light House moved to Kessingland because the channel had shifted. The Pakefield LH tower is still there, in the holiday centre. The light was finally extinguished in 1864.

1974 the High Light is now fully automatic.

1923 Low Light extinguished, as the Stanford Channel was no more.

1894 Low Light moved inland again.

1881 Low Light now also flashes. And had to be moved 80 yards inland, because of erosion.

1872 - 74 The present High Light was built. It had a new optical revolving light, flashing at half-minute intervals.
