I quote from Simon Careys photograph Image of these cottages: "The oldest buildings in Kingston Gorse, there are two cottages here, North Cottage is the first whilst the second partially obscured one is Lighthouse Cottage. The latter gives a clue to their origins built to house the workers of the local beach signal station that were built sometime between 1783-1813 (They are marked on the 1st OS Map of 1813 but not on Yeakell & Gardner's map of 1783)"
