Replacing a previous tower destroyed by fire in 1683, the present lighthouse was built in 1691 and increased in height twice, in 1793 and again at the end of the 19th century. North Foreland was the last Trinity House lighthouse to be automated. North Foreland Lighthouse along with the attached lighthouse keepers houses, which date from c.1860, comprise a Grade II listed building. https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101222802-the-north-foreland-lighthouse-including-attached-lighthouse-keepers-houses-broadstairs-and-st-peters#.W6fQ7fZFw5s
