Beacons on the Lawe Top at South Shields | |||
Before the piers were built and the river dredged, the river channel was negotiated by lining up the beacon towers, one above the other. | |||
There are similar beacons on the the North bank. (See High and Low Lights in Local History) | |||
A new beacon was added in 2020 |
