In general these were installed where a low range, eg less than 10 miles was required. A local attendant ensured that the gas supply was available and illuminated and that the the gas mantle was in good condition. The structure consists of a cast iron tower. This was selected in 07/02/01 for solarisation and modernisaton by the Northern Lighthouse Board see file.
