To celebrate Trinity House's quincentenary, this lavish photographic book features the best photography from the Corporation's own archive. Dramatic and evocative colour photos sit alongside text telling alternately fascinating and entertaining stories about these iconic structures dotted around the most vulnerable stretches of Britain's coastlines.
Told from the Corporation's point of view, this will be a photographic account of iconic buildings to be treasured by anyone who finds the haunting beam of a lighthouse at sea an immensely comforting sight, as well as walkers and families for whom a lighthouse on the landscape is a completely irresistible draw.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
