Royal Sovereign
Royal Sovereign lighthouse, located offshore from Eastbourne, is a lighthouse marking the Royal Sovereign shoal, a sandbank named after HMS "Royal Sovereign". Its distinctive shape is easily recognised as it comprises a large platform (which functions as a helicopter deck) supported by a single pillar rising out of the water. Originally, the platform was manned by three full-time keepers, accommodation being contained in the 'cabin section' immediately below the platform. Additional accommodation was provided for up to four visiting maintenance workers.
