SOUTER LIGHTHOUSE
Souter Lighthouse is located on Lizard point on the South Tyneside coast, between Marsden and Whitburn. It was built in 1871 by Sir James N Douglas for Trinity House - and was the first lighthouse in the world to be purpose built to use alternating electric current. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1988. The lighthouse and associated buildings are managed by the National Trust and open to visitors. The lighthouse, engine house, boiler house, workshops and houses are Grade II* listed buildings.Whitburn
