Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not work) :
*************
Flamborough Head is a promontory of 8 miles (13 km) on the Yorkshire coast of England, between the Filey and Bridlington bays of the North Sea. It is a chalk headland, with sheer white cliffs. The cliff top has two lighthouse towers, dating to 1669 and 1806. The cliffs themselves provide nesting sites for many thousands of seabirds, and are of international sigificance for their geology.
The Flamborough Head Lighthouse acts as a waypoint for passing deep sea vessels and coastal traffic, and marks the headland for vessels heading towards Scarborough and Bridlington. The first lighthouse on Flamborough Head was built by Sir John Clayton in 1669, but never lit. The present lighthouse, designed by Samuel Wyatt and costing £8,000 to build, was first lit on 1 December 1806. The current electric fog signal was installed in 1975, replacing older equipment. In the past, warnings in foggy weather were provided by rockets, discharged every 5 minutes and reaching an altitude of 600 feet. The last lighthouse keepers left on 8 May 1996. Trinity House operate tours of the lighthouse seasonally. [1]
