Summary

[edit]
Description

Alum Bay is a sandy bay near the westernmost point of the Isle of Wight, England, within sight of The Needles. Of geological interest and a tourist attraction, the bay is noted for its multi-coloured sand cliffs.

The Needles Lighthouse was automated in 1994, the keepers left the lighthouse for the last time on 8th December. Needles was the last Trinity House lighthouse powered by 100V DC electricity from it's own generators; to enable the automation to be carried out mains power has been supplied via a subsea cable from the Needles Battery, which provides 240V AC power for the new equipment (<a href="http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/interactive/gallery/needles.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.trinityhouse.co.uk/interactive/gallery/needles.html</a>)
