Peninnis Lighthouse, Isles of Scilly

Peninnis Lighthouse is located on Peninnis Head, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. The light was built to replace the lighthouse in the centre of the island of St Agnes and helps vessels to enter Hugh Town harbour, via St Mary's Sound. It was first lit in 1911, is circular, 45 feet (14 m) tall and consists of a black steel open lattice foundation, white gallery and black–domed top. It was one of the first gas–powered light houses to use acetyleneand converted to electricity in 1992. In recent years the light has been converted to LED illumination. It has a visible range of 9 nautical miles.
