Rare Black Barn Owl
Meet a rare Black Barn Owl at Happisburgh Owls. On the north Norfolk coast there is an elegant example of this incredibly rare bird - the result of a genetic mutation that means there are just a handful thought to exist in the UK.
Abandoned Caravan Park, Norfolk Coast.
Set along the Norfolk coast was this once bustling Caravan Park until it succumbed to the inevitable coastle erosion that plagues this part of the county.. Fortunately the park was moved to a new site further inland leaving its former ghostly outline sat here eerily close to the cliff edge..

Happisburgh lighthouse
1789 During a severe winter storm 70 sailing ships and 600 men were lost off the Norfolk Coast. An inquiry into the tragedy drew attention to the complete lack of warning lights between the fire beacon at Cromer and the candle-powered light at Winterton. Trinity House, the general lighthouse authority for England and Wales, subsequently erected two lighthouses at Happisburgh: the Low Light on the Cliff Top and the High Light (the present lighthouse) 400 yards inland.
1791 Both Lighthouses came into operation on the evening of New Year’s Day. By keeping both lights in line, vessels were guided around the southern end of the sands and onto the sheltered stretch of water known as ‘The Would’.
1801 The candle lanterns were replaced by oil lamps with polished reflectors.
1863 A new lantern, of revolutionary design, was installed. This is the lantern which tops the lighthouse today. It consists of diagonal frames which cross each other at a constant angle enabling shipping to see the light from all angles to seaward.
as the light source. As there was no local supply, the gas was manufactured from coal on the premises and stored in two large gas holders in the yard behind the lighthouse.
1868 A new optic was fitted. Because Happisburgh was a fixed light (not flashing) at that time the new equipment did not need to rotate, making the installation much easier. The optic, consisting of many glass prisms and a central lens gave the High Light a range of 17 miles; the Low Light had a range of 15 miles.
1883 The Low Light, threatened by coast erosion was withdrawn from service and demolished. The fixed beacon of the High Light was changed to an occulting character, the light shining for 25 seconds followed by a 5 second eclipse.
1884 Now that there was only one tower at Happisburgh, it was necessary to distinguish it from the tower at Winterton during daylight. This was achieved by painting the Happisburgh tower with the three broad red bands which we see today.
1910 Paraffin-vapour burners replaced the gas light.
1929 Acetylene made it possible to dispense with the resident keepers, although an attendant was still required to check the light periodically. The Keepers’ cottages were sold shortly afterwards and remain private dwellings.
1947 Electricity was installed, using a 500 watt lamp with a range of 18 miles. The stand-by light continued to be powered by acetylene. The character of the light was now altered to a flashing sequence – 3 white flashes every 30 seconds.
1988 Trinity House, after a major review of navigational aids, announced their intention to discontinue five lighthouses, four light vessels, several fog signals and numerous buoys and minor lights. Happisburgh was on the list for closure. The date for scheduled closure and decommissioning by Trinity House was June 13th 1988.
With the development of more sophisticated navigational aids, Trinity House began the process of reducing the number of number of traditional lighthouses. Houses. In 1987 Happisburgh Lighthouse was one of five lighthouses declared redundant. Decommissioning was scheduled for 13 June 1988.
Kay Swan, a Marine Geophysicist and local resident, knew of the dangers of working offshore without a guiding light in this treacherous southern area of the North Sea. She set about organising a petition to oppose the closure and the Friends of Happisburgh Lighthouse was born to promote the campaign. As a result Trinity House agreed to postpone the closure date.
Under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894 Trinity House can only dispose of a working Lighthouse to an Established Lighthouse Authority. A vigorous fund-raising campaign was therefore mounted to promote the necessary Private Bill through Parliament. NatWest Bank, was asked for an interest free loan, donated the £15,000 needed to cover the legal costs.
On 25th April 1990 the Bill received the Royal Assent. The passing of the Bill made Happisburgh the UK’s only independently operated working lighthouse and the Happisburgh Lighthouse Trust was established as a local light authority. The Trust is a registered Charity governed by six appointed Trustees who are responsible under the Act of Parliament for operating and maintaining the Light.
On June 20th 1990 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, visited the Lighthouse.

Bryony Nierop-Reading has been ordered by to vacate the mobile home she moved into when cliff erosion forced the destruction of her three-bedroom bungalow in Happisburgh, Norfolk, (inset, left) in December 2013. Planning bosses at North Norfolk County Council say the caravan (main picture), which has sat in the 69-year-old's garden for 13 years, is not fit for residential purpose. After turning down a compensation offer for the land in 2009, the grandmother-of-seven may be left homeless if evicted on August 25, as threatened.

St Mary's Church Ruin
music: Bensound.com
*HISTORY*
St Mary’s Church is a largely ruined building in an isolated situation away from the present village. As early as the beginning of the 19th century the building was in decay, but in 1947 the church tower collapsed into the nave.
Today the ruin is still recognisable as church, the daylight streaming through the pointed east wall and large tracery window. Burials continued in the lonely graveyard despite the abandonment of the church, but the increasing danger of the ruins led to the building being stabilised by Norfolk County Council in the mid 1990s. Large parts of all the walls as well as a number of windows remain, and the earliest parts of the church may date to the 12th or 13th century.
