taken 27 years ago, near to Lundy, Devon, England
At the Old Battery 2 - Lundy Island
This is the Old Battery, on Lundy's west coast. Two cannons were sited here, along with the gunners and their families. When fog descended, the cannons were fired at 10-minute intervals as a warning to shipping in the area. These were necessary as in fog the Old Light was set too high up on the island to be of any use. Time photo taken not available.
