HFF: The Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands

Off the North East coast at Seahouses, best known for the 1838 wreck of the Forfarshire and the role of Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper's daughter, in rescuing survivors. She was incredibly courageous but sadly died of tuberculosis a few years after the rescue, aged 26. I give links to the story below for anyone who may be interested.

Happy Friday everyone, and a happy weekend to follow.
