Plover Scar Light

On Sun 4th December 2016 We visited the site in the morning as the tide came in and it looked like the structure had been taken down to about HW level. The contractors have drilled all the big stones and fitted tapped plugs to take ring bolts for the crane. Goodness knows how they lifted them in 1847 using musclepower alone? continued – Jan 1st 2017

It has been cut at every stone

a recently split stone

How heavy are these? half tonne?

Base for the light?

Ring bolts for lifting
