Belle Tout
by Chris Page
Located on top of the white cliffs of the South Downs only a few miles from Beachy Head is the decommisioned Belle Tout Lighthouse.Erosion of the cliffs was threatening the foundations of the building and drastic steps had to be taken to stop it from falling into the sea. On 17 March 1999 in a remarkable feat of engineering work the Belle Tout was moved 17 metres away from the cliff face.
The 850-ton lighthouse was moved using a pioneering system of hydraulic jacks which pushed the building along four steel-topped concrete beams that were constantly lubricated with grease. The site should now be safe for many years and has been designed to enable further moves as and when they are required
