Littlehampton East Pier Range Rear
United Kingdom
The Lighthouse A 40ft pyramidal tower with a light had already been built at what became the start of the pier in 1848. This became the rear range for a shorter 26ft tower at the end of the pier, built in 1868. Affectionately known as ‘salt & pepper’, both were demolished in 1940 to prevent them being used by the Germans as navigational markers and there was no light until the present tower was built in 1948. HM Coast Guard Littlehampton is adjacent to the lighthouse. The current front light is on a post on the east pier. Located near the foot of the pier, at the end of Pier Road, on the Littlehampton waterfront.
In 1948, the current 23ft concrete tower was erected. The front range is a simple green light on a 10ft pole.
