In 1902, the Beachy Head Lighthouse was brought into service at the base of the cliffs after Belle Tout was abandoned in 1899. It took two years to complete and required 3,660 tons of Cornish granite to construct the tower.
Beachy Head Lighthouse was automated in June 1983 and the lighthouse keepers were no longer needed. The light was converted to solar power in 2011 and further upgrades to the control and the solar power system were carried out in 2018.
