I have added a fuller video of Portland Bill lighthouse/diaphone and a short clip of Anvil Point lighthouse filmed on the same day. This ain't great quality, and I've since cleaned my lens! The rotating lens at Anvil Point has since been replaced with a static LED white light.
Look under my video's for the 'proper' portland diaphone vid, and others.

  • The lens at anvil point is tiny compared to the original!

    Is it open to the public regularly?

  • @WorldWideLighthouses Yes. See TH website.

  • @hellooldchap Anvil is not open for the 2011 season.

  • 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.

  • 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
