Mary Newman Blackpool & Start Estate [email protected] 01803 770661 078 554 83 865 TRINITY HOUSE General Information and Safety at this Lighthouse This is a fully operational lighthouse and is provided to ensure the safety of mariners and for the protection of shipping. It is private property owned and operated by the Corporation of Trinity House. This lighthouse is open to the public. However, Trinity House reserves the right to close this facility to the public at any time for operational reasons. As lighthouses are part of this country’s heritage, many are listed buildings and cannot be structurally altered to adhere to modern building safety standards. We therefore ask you to take great care when visiting our lighthouse and adhere to the safety rules printed and to follow any safety instructions given to you by our guides. In order to ensure the safety of children visiting our lighthouses, those below one metre in height may not climb the steps in the lighthouse tower. This is because certain design features within the tower would make it unsafe for them to do so. We apologise for any disappointment of inconvenience this might cause but it is in the genuine interest of you and your family’s safety. Automatic fog warning signals are used at some locations and these are signposted accordingly. Fog signals may start without warning and are very loud. Although they may startle, they will not damage your hearing. There may exist operational RADAR and electronic Aids to Navigation on or around this lighthouse. They have been assessed and are not a risk to health. If you have a cardiac pacemaker, please mention this to the guide and avoid going within 2 metres of any rotating RADAR. Although rare, some frequencies might interfere with the efficiency of your pacemaker. Please do not tamper with any controls or drop litter and please report any spillages to your guide. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation and please enjoy your visit. Stephen Durham Health and Safety Manager Trinity House The Quay Harwich Essex C012 3JW Health & Safety Notice Restrictions to ascending the Lighthouse tower staircases Anyone wishing to ascend the lighthouse stairs must be a minimum of 1 metre in height. Children are very welcome, but they must be physically capable of ascending and descending the staircases unaided. Under no circumstances can children or babies be carried up the staircases, this includes the use of baby carriers, papooses, etc. Sensible footwear must be worn if you wish to ascend the lighthouse tower. Open toe sandals (without heel straps), flip-flops and high-heeled footwear are not permitted. Some staircases are very steep and must be descended facing the stair. The Tour Guide will inform you if this is necessary. Trinity House regrets that due to the historic design of the building, these premises are not suitable for some physically less able people. Anyone suffering from vertigo, heart or respiratory conditions is advised not to undertake the tour. The Tour Guide will give further advice on the above conditions, but has absolute discretion in preventing access if it is felt that Health and Safety regulations or the safety of the visitor or other members of the public would be compromised. .

  • Point Lighthouse, Start Point
    U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Start Point Lighthouse (Start Point, South Devon) History Start Point is one of the most exposed peninsulas on the English Coast, running sharply almost a mile into the sea on the South side of Start Bay near Dartmouth. The Lighthouse, sited at the very end of the headland, has guided vessels in passage along the English Channel for over 150 years. James Walker designed Start Point Lighthouse in 1836 and it owes much to the ʺgothicʺ movement in architecture of the time, with its battlemented parapet. Two white lights were originally exhibited, one revolving and one fixed to mark the Skerries Bank. A fixed red subsidiary light still marks this hazard. The optic used was the first of its kind in the Trinity House Service, being an approved form of Dioptric apparatus designed by Alan Stevenson, whose major work was the optic at the Skerryvore Lighthouse of 1844. Even so, the light was found to be inadequate in fog, and a bell was installed in the 1860s. The machinery was housed in a small building on the cliff face and operated A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom by a weight which fell in a tube running down the sheer cliff. A siren replaced the bell after only fifteen years. In 1871, the intermediate floors of the tower of 1836 were removed and extra accommodation provided in common with all Trinity House Stations. An insight into the Lighthouse and the life of its keepers in the nineteenth century is given in a travelogue by Walter White:‐ A substantial house, connected with the tall circular tower, in a walled enclosure, all nicely whitened, is the residence of the light‐keepers.

In Part I. of this article the position of affairs prior to the advent of the Marconi Beam system of communication was briefly reviewed and an account was given of the successful range trials of the experimental Short Wave Reflector plant at Poldhu carried out by Senatore Marconi on board the S.Y. " Elettra " in 1923-24. The British Government contract for the construction of the Imperial Beam Stations followed.Since then the Marconi Beam system has definitely proved itself to be of immense value for Imperial communications. The technical advances made in Short Wave Reflector transmission and reception up to the date of the signing of the contract were also described. In Part II. of this article, given below, the further technical advances made up to the date of the opening of the first Imperial Beam Stationare described, criticisms of the Marconi Beam system are discussed, and it is shown that certain suggestions whichhave been made for cheapening the standard Beam station equipment result ina loss of technical efficiency. The Receivers. THERE were two receivers, designed by Mr. Mathieu, inuse on the " Elettra." Thefirstofthese, a copper -screened two -valveinstrument,having a waverange of 40 to zoo metres, was used for signal intensity tests, and employed, as shown in the circuit diagram, Fig.5, an aperiodic aerial, a detector valve with reaction, a tuned grid, circuit with vernier condenser,a low pass filter to isolate the telephone circuit from reaction effects,a low frequency transformer and an audibility test circuit to which the telephonewas connected.The test circuit consisted of an artificial line graduated in standardmiles and providing a range of adjustment equivalent to o toioo T.U.
