The Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands

nobody@ipernity.com (John Cook) — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 13:57:08 +0000

Off the North East coast at Seahouses, best known for the 1838 wreck of the Forfarshire and the role of Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper's daughter, in rescuing survivors. She was incredibly courageous but sadly died of tuberculosis a few years after the rescue, aged 26. I give links to the story below for anyone who may be interested.

I posted the colour version of this photo some time ago but I also think it works in Black & White.

We have been on the beach for just under 15 minutes - that wind is chilling us enough to decide on heading off to play hunt the coffee & cakes ...
