A foghorn? Under the weather vane? Haha, you've gotta be nuts!
-
@92dilly Thanks for the reply. You are actually not the first person to mention about a fog horn at Happisburgh. I shall make further enquiries as I have never seen anything official.
-
@hellooldchap definitely not, I can remember two black horns set up under the weather vane on top of the roof, the lightship one sounded much further away.
-
@92dilly Fog horn? I'm not aware it had one, or are you referring to the light ship offshore?
-
@hellooldchap II remember the fog horn from Happisburgh light very well. It used to make the windows of our bungalow in Beach Road shake. We were right in front of the light and the bungalow was called Shannon,it was owned by the Wrightson's and is long gone, but I remember the horn being really frighting, my Dad said it was loud enough to get Whimpwell village back from the sea,which frightened me even more!

Predicting coastal process will always have a degree of uncertainty, but projections being used to inform the latest Shoreline Management Plans give the lighthouse at least 100 years before the cliff gets too close. By that time, the Norfolk coastline will be significantly different.

Newarp is now a buoy rather than a lightship.

@LovableLaura22 Thanks. There are some great locations along the UK coastline, many are where the lighthouses are. There are many stories to go with them too.

The beach has build up a lot of sand recently, making it well worth a Summer visit. Some more of the homes on Beach Road now have been earmarked for demolition.
