Who opposed early lighthouse projects?

 title: 'A coin with a lighthouse depicted on it.'

Early lighthouse projects faced opposition from various entities. The Trinity House was greedy to usurp more powers[1]. Wealthy shipowners and colliery owners were alarmed at the number of lighthouse projects and debates in Parliament followed[1].

The Trinity House considered lighthouses a luxury and sought to bestow them as seldom as possible[1]. Any lighthouse scheme from a private person was opposed with ruthless vigour by the Trinity House[1].
