Hi all

Just across the coastal path from Langdon Hole deep level shelter is Langdon Lights, this is a WW2 search light battery cut in to the cliff face.
There were 3 lights but one has fallen in to the sea, the battery is reached by the pathway from HELL...........

If you look on an OS map it's just a tight zig zag down the cliff.

First off is part of the path to HELL, then the gated entrance to the battery itself.

These are the two SL Batteries with there concrete covers and steel shutters.

Next is the cross passage at the rear that links the search light batteries

Then 2 views of the inside of the battery itself.
