I see a lot of lighthouses that have both tannoys and diaphones. Any reason for that?
-
i know! i just compared two of my photo's of both of these, and theyre almost identical!
at first, when i visited spurn, i thought it looked more like dungeness lighthouse (with the original daymark) the only thing that made me think otherwise, was the shape of the roof!
-
i'll have to look it up, although it can be hard to find information on spurn lighthouse.
-
Yeah, I can see that. Maybe built at the same time or designed by the same person?
-
Thinking about it, the new lighthouse on portland bill, looks Similar to that of spurn point. but mabey thats just how i see it...=D

spurn and portland bill, lighthouses were built within 11 years of each other! there is only a 9ft hight difference (portland bill lighthouse being higher) spurn lighthouse was designed by 'Thomas Matthews' although i dont know who designed portland bill!

Looking through my Portland Lighthouse book, Portland 3 was designed by Sir Thomas Matthews. He was the TH engineer-in-chief. Putting a pic of Spurn and Portland 3 you can see they are almost identical.
