The British Gas Beacon at Gorleston was built in 1999 by Seatrax Fabrication in Great Yarmouth. It was floated down the Thames in London on a barge for the Millennium Celebrations. At 9.45pm on the 31st December 1999 the Queen lit the flame. The flame leapt 3 metres above the Beacon (the biggest of a chain of 4,000 nationwide). It returned to Gorleston after the Millennium celebrations and now marks the entrance to Beacon Park. The beacon is the height of two double-decker buses, the width of a tennis court and weighs 25 tons.
