Standing sentinel at the mouth of the River Wear, Roker Lighthouse is a proud symbol of Sunderland’s maritime past. Completed in 1903, the lighthouse marks the end of Roker Pier and was built using granite and red Aberdeen sandstone. Its distinctive red and white bands have guided generations of vessels into the safety of Sunderland Harbour, and the structure remains one of the most photographed and loved landmarks along the North East coast.
This striking aerial view presents Roker Lighthouse from a rare top-down perspective, highlighting the perfect geometry of its circular base against the deep teal sea. The lighthouse casts a long, bold shadow across the curved pier, while waves lap gently at its edges, adding texture and contrast to the composition. The vibrant colours and crisp symmetry make this an ideal piece for coastal enthusiasts, lighthouse collectors, or anyone who cherishes the drama and calm of England’s seafront heritage.
