NS-01036 - Medway Head Lighthouses - a photo on Flickriver

            PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

Just a short distance (approx. 5km) from Port Medway we are back in the fog again.

Four different lighthouses have stood on Medway Head. The first combination dwelling and tower was replaced by a similar structure in 1927, but this new two-story dwelling had a hipped roof with a central octagonal lantern room. It was into this lighthouse that Keeper Dougls R. Smiley and his wife Muriel moved in 1959. The Smileys must have been surprised to find that the dwelling lacked inside plumbing and central heating.

The 1927 lighthouse was sold in 1980 to Alden Wamboldt of Massachusetts, who was required to remove the structure from the property. Fortunately, the lighthouse was moved just a short distance from its original site to a hill overlooking the station, allowing visitors to easily photograph two lights in one picture.

On April 19, 1983, the fiberglass tower that was here, was replaced by the present pepper-shaker tower, and three years later the station was de-staffed
