One clubnite whilst speaking to Paul G0LLE it came to light that there was a lighthouse in London's east end on the river Thames.

Following a visit to the site and some discussion with the current occupiers it was decided to take part in the Lighthouses on the air weekend

HISTORY

The Lighthouse was built around 1863 and was owned by Trinity House, the organization responsible for lighthouses all over the country, its original use was to train lighthouse keepers and pilots .The area was also a workshop and main stores for the whole of Great Britain. It is also reported that Michael Faraday conducted experiments with optical devices at the site .We thank Doug M0SST for information on the lighthouse, he was a keeper many years ago and done his initial training at Trinity Buoy Wharf
