Smeaton's Tower

The Hoe, Plymouth, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 1752 600608

If you are wondering about the bright blue, giant edifice that currently dominates Plymouth Hoe, don't worry. The red and white candy stripes of Smeaton's Tower are still there beneath it. In 1759 the interlocking stones of Smeaton's Lighthouse were first transported out from Millbay Harbour to the Eddystone Rocks, where the lighthouse stood for more than 120 years. In 1882 a fault was discovered in the rocks below. So they dismantled the lighthouse, took it back to Plymouth and re-erected it on the Hoe.
