Up Close: Smeaton's Tower
This was the third Eddystone Lighthouse. It was first erected further south of Plymouth, in the middle of the sea on Eddystone Rocks. However after persistent crushing from the waves and periodic erosion of the tides, it was deemed unsafe and replaced. The top part of the lighthouse was moved to Plymouth Hoe as a memorial to the designer and renamed Smeaton's Tower. Such a landmark it evolved into, that it became synonymous with the city itself and was featured prominently in various media.
