The square lattice towers that form the range Lights at Berkeley Pill are among the last of their type, with most others having been replaced by simpler, cheaper to maintain lights on non-descript lattice towers or poles. Built in 1937 to replace earlier lit wooden masts, they can be found at the mouth of a small contributory to the River Severn called the Little Avon. The range lights guide down-river traffic around a bend in the River Severn, marking the entance to Sharpness Docks.

The rear range Lighthouse is a 12 metre high, black painted, square lattice tower, topped by a white lantern with three rectangular windows. A white slatted daymark is displayed on the front of the tower. The low lighthouse is almost identical to this structure, only shorter. The lighthouses originally shone flashing white lights and were powered by acetylene gas. Both lights were converted to electrical power initially running off of batteries in 1951 and then mains electricity in 1964. Today, the lantern houses a vertical array of flourescent tubes, which display a fixed green light, day and night.

In 2010 the lantern was replaced by a similar restored version, which either came from the recently demolished Sheperdine lighthouse, or the lower light, which also underwent restoration in 2008. This move was likely made to enable off-site restoration of the milk-churn-like lantern room, avoiding the need for a longer period of down-time.

Together, these two Lights are the only intact pair of this once more common design, and are well preserved examples of minor River Severn lighthouses. A lantern room, virtually identical and likely the original from this lighthouse, can be found in the grounds of the Gloucester Harbour Trustees, Sharpness, in an unrestored state.
