...one of the most famous landmarks in Jersey UK. It was designed by Sir John Coode and built in 1874 and was Britain’s first reinforced concrete lighthouse. During the German Occupation in WW2, the light was switched out, only turned on when German’s wanted to guide their own ships around the treacherous rocks. The lighthouse was relit for good on 19 May 1945.
