Framed Print of New Lighthouse on Bishop Rock, Scilly Islands, 1858. Creator: Unknown
New Lighthouse on Bishop Rock, Scilly Islands, 1858. It is built upon the Bishop, one of the clusters of rocks on the west of the Scilly Islands...The rock is so narrow that it was necessary in one place to go down to the low water of the lowest spring tides in the open sea to get sufficient area of foundation. The building is of granite. The height of the light is 110 feet above high water. The design, details, and general superintendence were by Mr. Walker, engineer to the Corporation, assisted by his partners, Mr. Burges and Mr. Cooper; but these gentlemen ascribe the credit of the successful execution, without the loss of life or limb, to Mr. Nicholas Douglass, who has been the resident engineer from the commencement. The lantern - which is fourteen feet diameter, of gun metal - and a catadioptric apparatus, of the first order, were furnished by Messrs. Wilkins and Co. Long-acre...The Bishop Rock light, which burns from sunset to sunrise, is a fixed bright dioptric light...illuminating the entire circle, and is visible in clear weather at a distance of about fourteen miles'.
