I think that Musicat pounced upon it. However, being curious about British lighthouses, I did a spot of research anyway. Caligula may have been a monster, but his engineers put up a solid building. This is a decent site discussing all the lighthouses in the Dover area including their light signals. :) Carollynoggin posted Fri, 21 November 2003 at 1:47 AM
Musicat: the light house is much further west! It hadn't occured to me that this harbour light might be a standard design so just in case here's clue number 2! The town in question was the centre of a famous English Art 'School/movement' And you got two of the 6 gull's! Well done keep guessing_ bear in mind I'm from the UK Nigel

Wow well done Genny_ 5 out of six for the gulls. I think that lighthouse is really tricky, so here's another clue. The town has a famous art gallery, fairly recently opened.

St Ives is the lighthouse (the art movement was a pretty big clue). My gull spotting ain't up to much but: Herring, Common, Great black backed, Lesser black backed, Black headed, Kittiwake

Yay! Richard_ the lighthouse is right! BUT only 4/6 for the gulls_ keep guessing you guys!

It's like the old Mastermind game - Genny had five right, I had four right and we differ on two so at least one of the two Genny offered is right and at least one of the two I offered is wrong, while at least three of the shared ones are correct, so ....
