Start Point Lighthouse, Devon: A Beacon of Safety in the 1960s Coastline This evocative photograph captures the rugged beauty and raw power of the Devon coastline in the 1960s, with Start Point Lighthouse standing proudly against the backdrop of the churning sea. The lighthouse, located at the southernmost tip of Start Point, has been guiding mariners safely to shore since its construction in 1836. The image showcases a cluster of white houses and buildings huddled together at the base of the cliff, their windows reflecting the soft glow of the lighthouse beam. The houses, which once served as homes for the lighthouse keepers and their families, now stand as testament to the rich history of this coastal community. The sea, a force of nature in its own right, crashes against the rocky shoreline, creating a symphony of sound and movement. The waves, frothy and white, seem to reach out towards the lighthouse, as if in a constant dance with the structure that stands defiantly against the elements. The photograph transports us back in time to an era when the lighthouse was an essential part of daily life for the local community and for seafarers navigating the treacherous waters of the English Channel. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of human ingenuity and the power of nature, coexisting in a delicate balance.
