Trinity House Obelisk
The Trinity House Obelisk (also known as Trinity House Landmark) is an obelisk located at Portland Bill, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. It has been a Grade II Listed Monument since September 1978. The obelisk was created as a daymark.
==History==
The 7 metre (23 feet) tall white stone obelisk was built in 1844 to warn ships of the rocks off the coast of Portland Bill during the daytime. It stands at the southern tip of the Isle of Portland, and also acts as a warning of the low shelf of rock extending 30 metres (100 feet) south into the sea.
The obelisk is made of high-quality Portland stone ashlar and is dated 1844 on its north face, with the panel inscribed "TH 1844". It is a three-sided tapering obelisk on a high plinth and with a pyramidal crown.〔 The monument was saved from threatened demolition in 2002, although a nearby viewing platform was demolished. Trinity House had announced plans to demolish the obelisk because it was becoming too expensive to maintain.
