Lloyds Signal Station, Bass Point, Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall

 

The signal station was originally set up by Fox and Company shipping agents (the same Fox family that owned Glendurgan). The station was to communicate, by semaphore, with vessels entering the English Channel to convey information as to the market conditions and where their owners wanted them to dock.

 

Lyyods of London took over operation of the station in 1883
