Needles lighthouse The 'Needles' have always presented a hazard to shipping going up the Solent to Portsmouth and Southampton Water The original Needles lighthouse was established in 1786 on the cliffs, but its lofty position - 144m above sea level - meant that its light was often obscured by sea fogs. A replacement lighthouse was built on the outermost rocks of the Needles in 1859, and was manned until 1997. I took this picture during a boat ride around the rocks. Which was fun. all photos©urban75 2004
