About this event

40 minutes

'Jersey’s iconic Corbière Lighthouse is 150 years old - the first in the world to be built of solid concrete. Find out about its amazing construction and the changing technology used by generations of Lighthouse Keepers. Hear about their lives and some of the numerous events which they witnessed for over 100 years. Automated in the 1970s, it is still a reassuring presence in the age of GPS, and as always, attracts visitors and photographers.

Now retired, Sue Hardy carried out guided tours of the lighthouse for over 15 years.'
