A tall white tower stands beside a keeper's house, with a line of wind-bent trees leaning behind them, a combination that tells you the station was built for exposed coastal work rather than shelter. Lighthouses like this one were usually paired with a dwelling for the keeper and his family, who were responsible for trimming wicks, winding clockwork mechanisms and keeping the lamp lit through long nights. The bent trees are a useful clue: they show the constant pressure of prevailing winds, the same forces that made keeping a station on an open headland a demanding job.
