Casquets lighthouses Casquets lighthouses Casquets Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located on the rocky Les Casquets, Alderney, Channel Islands. Casquets Lighthouse is the latest in a series of three lights on Les Casquets. The first lighthouses started operation on 30 October 1724, and were three towers lit by coal fires called St Peter, St Thomas and the Dungeon. Three stone towers were built to give the lights a distinctive appearance which would not be confused with lighthouses in nearby France. They were built by Thomas Le Cocq, owner of the rocks, under license from Trinity House and who was paid a halfpenny
Caloundra Lighthouses garden bed at the southern end. A sandstone block in this garden displays a plaque containing historical information about the lighthouses. To the east of the garden bed is a boulder set in a round concrete footing with a memorial plaque dedicated to World War II servicemen attached (erected 1991). With the exception of the memorial, none of the remainder of these elements is considered to be of state-level cultural heritage significance. It is the extent of the largely undeveloped site (part of the original lighthouse reserve) that is significant, rather than the elements that comprise the park. Caloundra Lighthouses
