These photos were taken by Frank, a Marketing Executive, who spotted a less than generous description by me of the Pontin's Holiday Centre at Pakefield. The old Pakefield lighthouse is on the left, next to it is Lowestoft and on the right is Happisburgh.

Why not have a family holiday at Pontin's at Pakefield and see the lighthouse for yourself. You will find details at http://www.pontins.com/centres/pakefield . You can read up this history of this light at Forgotten Lighthouses .

John took these photos of Smeaton's Tower in October 2007 when he was researching the family history of his great grandfather who was keeper on the Eddystone just after the Great War. You can see the breakwater light in the background of the first photo. Good shots John; thanks.

Dean, who works in London, sent in these photos as he walked past it in Tower Hamlets. He wanted to know if the building is a lighthouse. I suspect that it is just a folly, but it is a shame that it is about to be demolished.

Marylin, by using the wizardry of her computer, has very cleverly transformed the photo of the Bishop Rock on the left, next of Bamburgh and then three of Belle Tout into these very imaginative artistic images.

When Kitty from Fort Lauderdale, Florida was on holiday in the UK a couple of years ago she took this photo of the old chalk tower lighthouse at Flamborough Head.


Point of Ayr

This is a particularly nice shot of the disused lighthouse at Point of Ayr, or Talacre as some people call it. Sandy took this on 13th November 2005 and you can see some more of her well composed pictures by visiting the Web Links page.


South Stack image690 image726

Tom took this nice shot of South Stack on Anglesey whilst on holiday there in September 2005. He also took this one of St. Mary's Island, Northumberland while on holiday in May 2007. The Lizard photo was taken in September 2007. Thanks Tom.


Dovercourt Harwich Gunfleet

Peter took the picture of the old disused lights at Dovercourt. On the left is the High light with the Low light just a hundred or so yards in front of it. Next is a photo of the old Low and High lights at Harwich which were replaced by the Dovercourt ones. Finally Peter took a series of photos of this old rusting pile lighthouse on Gunfleet Sands and you can see these on Lighthouse Tours and read about the lighthouse at Gunfleet.


Whitford Point

This picture of Whitford Point on the Gower Peninsular was taken by Phillip who is a professional photographer. You can see his work on the Alamy photo library website.


Portland1 Portland2 Hunstanton

Brian from the Medway took these photographs of Portland Bill in 2004 when he took the family on holiday. He, together with his grown up children and grandchildren, climbed to the top but poor old Mrs, who had a dodgy ankle, stayed at the bottom. They had a holiday at Hunstanton on the right in 2003. You can see Brian's 2006 tour of Portland on Lighthouse Tours . You will find a link to Brian's web site on the Web Link page.

Brian took this photo tour of the Shoreham light in March 2005 on recent trip to Sussex.


Rampside st.agnes

This photo of Rampside on the left was taken by Joseph of Peterborough in 2002. This is one of three pairs of leading lights but the only one worth photographing. He took this photo on the right of the disused St. Agnes lighthouse when on a trip to the Isles of Scilly in May 2004.


Burnham Low Burnham old

These photographs of the Burnham Low and Burnham Old lighthouses were taken by Alan of Kingswinford. If you want to find out more about these lights then go to the Web Link page where you will find a link to his site.


Dungeness

Marcus took this photograph of Dungeness. Behind and out of camera shot is the old disused lighthouse together with the circular keepers houses that wrapped around an even earlier lighthouse. You can reach these on the narrow gauge railway.


Northfleet Northfleet2

These two photographs of the Northfleet lighthouse on the river Thames were taken by the Dartford and Gravesend Building Preservation Trust on 1st July 2001.


Crossness Crossness

These two photographs taken by the Port of London Authority show the problems of vandalism to their London river lights. This one is at Crossness.


Stoneness Coldharbour

Two more photographs taken by the Port of London Authority. They show the range of the beautifully designed lighthouse at Stoneness on the left to the more practical structure at Coldharbour on the right. Please see the London River page for pictures of all the Port of London Authority lights.


Shornemead Shornemead

In October 2004 Roy of Rochester took these photos of the old Shornemead lighthouse at the PLA's Denton Wharf prior to its disposal.


wolf sevenstones

Johan from Holland took these photos in September 2003. The picture of Wolf Rock shows an exceptional low spring tide and it is not often that reef on which it stands is exposed. The Sevenstones lightvessel is the only one off the west coast.
