This is a unique opportunity for just FOUR members of the Society to visit to the interior of Happisburgh Lighthouse. Because the lighthouse is privately owned and managed there is a fee of £10 per attendee which will be collected on the day. Our volunteer guide is Colin.
We will have the opportunity to photograph inside the tower of the lighthouse and climb up the internal steps and ladder to the lantern.
96 stone steps wind up the inside of the perimeter wall to the service room directly below the light. It is a strenuous climb with camera gear so you need to be fit and healthy
In olden days this room was used to store oil and other equipment which was winched up from the bottom of the Lighthouse. The service room is now home to a light sensitive cell, a type of ‘trip switch’ which activates the lamp as conditions darken outside; not only at night but during stormy and foggy weather as well.
From the service room a short trip up a few stairs leads to the lamp room itself where the main 500 watt sits within a large ‘optic’ of prisms for refraction and magnification of the light.
