Lighthouses of England, Longstone Lighthouse, Northumberland. early 90's

This was filmed in the mid 90's and was on a few hours boat trip from Seahouses in Northumberland. It was the first time back to the Lighthouse from when I was a Keeper in the mid 70's. The light had been automated in 1990 so no more Keepers. I spent the closing years of the Lighthouse Keeper trying to record as much as possible before it was gone forever. This lighthouse was made famous by Grace Darling who along with her father rescued 9 people from the wreck of the Forfarshire. This they did by rowing out in ferocious seas and bringing the survivors back to the lighthouse.
