The Hurst Tower light was found to be obscured behind the Needles from certain directions; consequently, in 1812, this tower was supplemented by the High Lighthouse, a new tower at a higher level. [2] The High Lighthouse, which was designed by Daniel Alexander, was a red, brick-built elliptical tower of an unusual and striking conical design. [6]
The second lighthouse was the "High Light" – the free standing Hurst Point Lighthouse built on the end of Hurst Spit between 1865 and 1867. [70] A new public house, the Castle Inn, was established on the north end of the spit. [ 60 ]
The first lighthouse at Hurst was the Hurst Tower, sited to the south west of Hurst Castle, and lit for the first time on 29 September 1786. [12] An additional and higher light - the High Lighthouse - was constructed in 1812. [12] These lighthouses were dismantled and replaced by two new lighthouses built in the 1860s. [11]
