Welcome to KEEPING WATCH - a fortnightly podcast for anyone and everyone interested in lighthouses, lighthouse keepers, light vessels and other aids to maritime navigation.
KEEPING WATCH is brought to you in association with the ALK - The Association of Lighthouse Keepers - a charitable trust in the UK dedicated to keeping lighthouse heritage alive.
We’ll hear from former lighthouse keepers, authors of books about lighthouses, people born and brought up in lighthouses, archivists, historians and many others interested in lighthouses, their construction, history and service.
This week, we hear from a number of former lighthouse keepers talking about their time in the lighthouse service - their training, their duties, the food they cooked, as well as how they were regarded by the communities they served.
Back in 2016 the ALK recorded and published an inspiring DVD called Keeping Light - a remarkable project that brought together dozens of former keepers to talk and share stories about their time in the lighthouse service.
The DVD is still available on the ALK website at alk.org.uk/shop. It costs just £5, including p&p, within the UK, or £8 overseas.
