sonic illuminations proposal- photos of site visit- King's Cross lighthouse

sonic illuminations is a competition for sound artist/composer and filmmaker to make a 5 minute piece exploring the history of King's Cross, to be presented at the opening of King's Place Arts centre in October. some info on the lighthouse is here- urban75 website, plus flickr site. we went to the camden local study centre archives and found an illustrated article entitled, 'A light at King's cross,: The 'lighthouse' building: fantasy and fact,' by David Hayes, in Camden History Review, Vol 23 (1999) David Hayes is part of the Camden Library Services. the article give a good survey of the known and guessed history of the lighthouse, similar 'follys', suggestions about it being a camera obscura (hence why i like this site!) helterskelter, dispensary, lookout.
