On 17 February 2021 Jersey Post issued a set of six Post & Go ATM stamps (frama labels) commemorating it’s coastal towers. These towers were built as coastal defense towers and one of the six depicted here, Noirmont Tower is now used as a lighthouse. The label showing Victoria Tower also shows St. Catherine’s Breakwater L/H in the background. La Corbière L/H is shown in silhouette on the label showing La Rocco Tower.

2021 Great Britain Lighthouse Stamp

Posted on January 15, 2021 | Leave a comment

On 14 January 2021 the UK’s Royal Mail issued a set of 10 stamps featuring that nation’s national parks. The stamp featuring South Downs National Park shows (if you look very closely) Belle Tout L/H. The lighthouse can be seen at the upper right corner of the stamp just to the right of the base of the letter “T” below the queen’s profile. The light was built in 1832 and deactivated in 1899. It has been subject to cliff erosion and has been moved a short distance inland from it’s original location. It is privately owned and is used as a bed and breakfast. In this image from Google Maps taken from Belle Tout L/H we can see Beachy Head L/H not far away.
