South Foreland Lighthouse, perched on the white cliffs of Dover, is a beacon of innovation. Built in 1843, it became the world’s first electrically lit lighthouse in 1859, thanks to experiments overseen by Michael Faraday. Later, in 1898, Guglielmo Marconi used it for groundbreaking wireless communication experiments, paving the way for modern radio and the internet.
