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.
