Summary

Description
English: The lighthouse on the West bank of the River Nene stands on the opposite bank to its twin on the East bank. No one seems to know why they are referred to as lighthouses as they never functioned as such. They were built to celebrate the recutting of the Nene Channel where it meets The Wash and acted as markers for ships.

They are now private residences.
