Description
He sits and remembers how he used to guard the river...
When we were kids playing nearby we though these looked like guard towers, or even like the machines from H G Wells' classic, The War of the Worlds. In reality these unique cast iron lighthouses were erected in 1863 by Trinity House to guide ships around Landguard Point until 1917; the two lights aligned indicated the right course. The deep-water channel is now marked by buoys. The lighthouses were restored in the 1980s, The lighthouses are sometimes known as Dovercourt Range Lights.

Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you, Meg. I remember them from the 1970's when we used to play around them, and walk out to the low one at low tide
