WW1 Searchlight Emplacements


Two defence electric light emplacements from the First World War located on the Links at Blyth. The emplacements were operated by an E.L.O. (Electric Light Officer) in a director station at Link House Battery, and powered by an engine house 50m to the west (now a public lavatory).[1] The emplacements are Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
