Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse - by Paper Shipwright - Farol Inglês

London’s only lighthouse was designed by James Douglass and built at Trinity House’s Bow Creek depot in 1866. Properly referred to as the Experimental Lighthouse, it was never intended to be used operationally – but rather was used to test new lighting technologies and to train new lighthouse keepers. The tower was built beside the Chain and Buoy Store, built in 1864, and replaced an earlier experimental lighthouse. The new tower was used by Michael Faraday for his work investigating electric lights as a possible light source. Trinity House closed the depot in 1988 and the site is now run by Urban Space Management under the name Trinity Buoy Wharf. It provides studio space for artists, flats and other spaces. - Paper Shipwright

O único farol de Londres, foi desenhado por James Douglass e construído em Bow Trinity House Creek em 1866. Adequadamente chamado de Farol Experimental, nunca chegou a ser usado operacionalmente , mas foi usado para testar novas tecnologias de iluminação e de formar novos guardas de farol. A nova torre foi usada por Michael Faraday que ali desenvolveu seus experimentos de como usar a energia elétrica como fonte de luz.O farol agora é administrado pela Administração do Espaço Urbano Inglês sob o nome de Trinity Buoy Wharf. Ele agora é usado como estúdio de artes e apartamentos. - Paper Shipwright
