Polpeor Cove, The Lizard, Landewednack, Cornwall. Before 1884
A view of Polpeor Cove with the lighthouse and lifeboat station on the cliff top. This was the first of three lifeboat stations built at Polpeor Cove and was opened in 1859 following the wreck of the SS Czar on 22nd January 1859 when some of her crew were rescued by local boatmen. Operations from Polpeor Cove stopped in 1961 when the Lizard lifeboat station moved location to the more protected Kilcobben Cove. The lighthouse was built by Thomas Fonnereau in 1751 as a twin coal-fired light, converted to oil in 1811, and electricity in 1874. A rotating lens was installed in the eastern tower in 1903 and the western tower light removed. It was automated in 1998. Photographer: Unknown
