olb - Longstone light

Longstone Lighthouse - from where Grace Darling and her father set out - in a storm - to row a small, open boat [a local design known as a coble - say it with a long O] to rescue people stranded on Big Harcar Rock who had escaped from the wreck of the PS Forfarshire in 1838. Since 1990 runs on automated systems using solar panels and LEDs as the light source.
