About Blackpool Tower Lighthouse
Constructed of steel and painted a dark red, the Blackpool Tower stands 158 meters tall. This square, tapered observation tower was built in 1894 and is located on the Blackpool Promenade in northwest England. Its focal height is also 158 meters, and it emits a fixed red light. The tower provides navigational guidance for ships up to 30.3 nautical miles away. It also serves as an aircraft warning light.
Why it matters: The Blackpool Tower serves as both an aircraft warning light and a navigational aid for maritime traffic along the coast. Its distinctive design, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, makes it a notable architectural feature.
