Souter Lighthouse 1980s

This is the well known Souter Lighthouse that stood close to the long gone Village of Marsden that was on the clifftops south of Marsden Grotto.As usual I researched and added a bit history to the photo. It also had a massive Fog Horn that warned shipping when the weather was misty & it could be heard inland aswell.

Lovely photo Norman, I always enjoyed the drive along the coast road between South Shields and Roker, the Souter Lighthouse was always a magnificent sight on that road.

Another nice photograph Norman. My big,I mean big,brother volunteered there for a short period of time. As Liz mentioned a nice scenic drive past the lighthouse.

You can rotate the entire lamp with your little finger as it is on a bed of Mercury. It's worth a visit but very steep stairs near the top! Lovely photo Norman!
