Quick facts

The cottages were built soon after the National Coastguard Service was founded in 1822.

Their officers dealt with smuggling, salvage and lifesaving, and in the World Wars watched for invasion.

Erosion has taken more than 30 metres of cliff from in front of the cottages, which are still private homes.
