Sedgley Beacon Tower (Sedgley (District of))

United Kingdom / England / Wolverhampton / Sedgley (District of)
 tower, Grade II Listed (UK)
The Sedgley beacon was erected in 1846 on Beacon Hill in Sedgley. The hill was so named because historically it was one in a series of prominent locations with beacons on top, where a fire would be lit as a signal during times of war or turmoil. The tower now stands on the site of an earlier tower, which sits on the spot of the original beacon. The tower is a grade II listed building.
