Airport beacons

I live about 2 miles from Southend airport and when we moved in, many years ago, a rotating green/white beacon was clearly visible on most nights.

Now it's not there anymore, and hasn't been for some time. Is this a general airport thing, perhaps as a result of improved navaids, or are there still some in use elsewhere?
