This blue commemorative plaque records: Site of Tynemouth Lighthouse. A lighthouse was built here in 1664 using stone from the Priory. It is likely that this tower replaced a medieval light in the Priory buildings. Demolished in 1898 and replaced by St. Mary's Lighthouse. Recorded plaque organisation: Tyne and Wear County Council, Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside.
