Sounding Souter's foghorn

Prepare your ears! We're giving the foghorn a blast every Monday during the summer holidays. It will sound somewhere between 1pm and 1.30pm.
Warning - it's VERY loud. Please ensure dogs and people who dislike unexpected noises aren't close to the foghorn at this time.
Did you know? While the lighthouse was operational, the foghorn would be sounded when visibility fell below two miles in the daytime or the lights of the Tyne and Wear piers could not be made out at night. The current horns are the fourth set Souter has had since the lighthouse was built it 1871. They are kept in working order by our dedicated team of engineering volunteers.
