South Foreland Lower Lighthouse, built in 1843, was one of the earliest lighthouses on the English coast and was decommissioned in 1904 due to the construction of the more powerful South Foreland Lighthouse nearby. It is historically significant as an early example of 19th-century lighthouse engineering and maritime safety efforts.
