The Old Lighthouse, at spurn point, is on the river Hull side of the Peninsula. It was built in 1852. The light has been replaced with a large water tank. Much smaller than it's more impressive replacement, it is still quite a prominent landmark worth seeing to compare it to the new Lighthouse. It can be seen through a window in the new Lighthouse.

On a clear day one can see further from here than on a cloudy day.
