Tags: Lighthouse, Tower.
Godrevy Lighthouse was built in 1858–1859 on the largest rock of the Stones reef. The lighthouse is approximately 300 metres (980 ft)off Godrevy Head on the eastern side of St Ives Bay Cornwall. The Stones reef had always been a hazard to shipping and a lighthouse had been considered many times prior to 1858 but nothing came of plans until the SS Nile was wrecked on 11 November 1854 with the loss of all on board.
