Lighthouse at the Prince of Wales Pier - Dover

Lighthouse, Prince Of Wales Pier, Dover, Kent. Before October 1987 there was a cafe building that was wrapped around the middle of this lighthouse. Sadly, during the night of the 15th / 16th October 1987 a severe windstorm caused the vessel 'Seafreight Highway' to come in contact with the cafe and damaged it beyond repair. The Port of Dover demolished the cafe and replaced it with another which opened in 1989. This is now a distinct building from the lighthouse.
