Southwold (Scan from October 1998)

“Construction of the lighthouse began in 1887, led by Sir James Douglass, Engineer in Chief of Trinity House. A light was lit on a temporary structure in February 1889 and the lighthouse itself began operating on 3 September 1890. It replaced three lighthouses that had been condemned as a result of serious coastal erosion. The lantern itself was previously used at the Happisburgh low lighthouse but became available when the latter light was demolished.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwold_lighthouse

Gunhill Cliff, Southwold (Scan from October 1998)

Gunhill Cliff provides a panoramic view of the coastline. For this reason, it was chosen as the place to locate the town’s defences. The cannon were presented to Southwold by the Royal Ordnance in 1746.
