For some reason I was drawn to the south of England for this lighthouse of the week, and this one is directly south of London. See where that location is.
I noticed this one because of the fancy wind vane on top.
Not a lot of history for this lighthouse, but it does date back to 1846, per the Lighthouse Directory.
The pictures below show what it looks like."1846. Active; focal plane 13 m (43 ft); white flash every 10 s. 12 m (39 ft) round limestone tower with lantern and gallery. Lighthouse is unpainted gray stone; lantern is black. ... Located on Brighton Road (A259) near the base of the middle pier in Shoreham-by-Sea, about 8 km (5 mi) west of Brighton."
