What looks like a lighthouse at Watchet, Somerset, is, properly speaking, a harbour navigational mark (or aid). A lighthouse has a flashing light: the light at Watchet is constant green and it marks the entrance to the harbour. It stands on the west pier that was completed in 1860, a time when iron ore was the main commodity exported from the town. The harbour light is 22feet (6.7m) high and is made of cast iron painted red and white. It was designed by James Abernethy and made in 1860 by Hennet, Spinks and Else of Bridgwater, Somerset at a cost of £75.
