The lighthouse was the site of several famous scientific breakthroughs; Guglielmo Marconi conducted his wireless experiments here, received the first ship-to-shore radio transmission (a test message from the East Goodwin lightship) and the first ship-to-shore distress signal. South Foreland also received the first international radio transmission in 1899, when a signal arrived from Wimereux, across the Channel in France.
The National Trust has created a replica of the hut that Marconi used for many of his experiments and will be filling the hut with historic radio equipment in an effort to tell the story of how radio developed.
