<\/a><\/p>\nThis lighthouse is one of those places that I’ve known about for a while but never managed to get inside until now. I suspected it was probably just an empty concrete shell, but I still wanted to see it for myself, and actually there turned out to be more to see in there than I expected.<\/p>\n
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of information out there about this building, at least not that I can find. It was built around 1950 and, unlike many lighthouses that are in the shape of a tower, this one is a single storey concrete building with a short octagonal tower at one end to house the light. It’s built on a concrete platform at the end of a breakwater, but hasn’t been used in several decades, and is now covered with graffiti of various types.<\/p>\n The large room underneath the light has two bay windows, as well as a sort of octagonal porch, projecting out of it. It’s mostly empty, but some very rusty metal lockers, now missing their doors, still stand against one of the walls.<\/p>\n The stairs leading up to the light have gone completely. It would take climbing equipment, or at least more climbing ability than I possess, to access the upper floors now. Looking up through the opening where the spiral stairs would have been, a cylindrical metal tank is visible, along with the ladder that leads up to the actual light chamber at the very top of the building.<\/p>\n A corridor leads down the middle of the building, with rooms either side. The middle bit is missing its roof and is now open to the sky.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
