La Corbiere Lighthouse, Jersey
La Corbière lighthouse was the first in the British Isles to be built of reinforced concrete, designed by Sir John Coode, and its light is visible for 18 miles (29 kms) in clear weather. The tower is 19 m (62 ft) high and the lamp stands 36 m (119 ft) above high water spring tides. It was first lit on 24 April 1874 and was automated in 1976. The lighthouse is connected to the shore by a causeway that is covered by seawater at high tide.
