The Lighthouse story is read by Andy Jones and is told from the perspective of a fictional character “Adrian" a fellow from Hant’s Harbour. For generations, the Hant’s Harbour lighthouse has guided people safely home. First lit in 1881 on Custard Head, it was tended by the Soper family for decades, passing from father to son. Though the tower has changed over time, the lantern house you see today is part of the original light. Still working, still watching the harbour, it remains a powerful symbol of care, continuity, and community pride.
