The Oysterfleet Lighthouse

Post Cards of this Lakeside Landmark
By David Bullock

It is said this lighthouse was built as an out house for the mother in law of the occupant of the adjacent bungalow, Capt Gregson. The Bungalow eventually became the Oysterfleet Pub and later the Dr Feelgood Club.

The Lighthouse was sadly demolished before a presevation order could be placed on it. The Oysterfleet Pub was also later demolished and replaced with a Hotel and Pub with a beer garden by the Lake.

Comments/reviews:

I remember Captain Gregson.  Captain Gregson had been in Africa for many years and his bungalow was full of Lion and Tiger heads, African spears and other memorabilia. I used to play there when I was a boy.
