Lighthouse extras 9, Wolf Rock, "Order Book", 1878 to 1988

On all of our Lighthouses, as well as the stations log book, there was also an Order Book. The Order Books were filled in by visiting Trinity House Officials and can contain several Historical gems. Whilst I served out my final time as a Keeper on the Lizard Lighthouse in Cornwall, I was given the opportunity to view several of the Cornish Rock Lighthouse Order Books at our Penzance Depot. Armed with a tape recorder, and a room in the Depot, whilst trying to decipher all manner of hand writing, this is what I ended up with.
