The volunteers at Blyth Battery gave us a tour. They told us of their experiences in setting up the project and in continuing to expand. They were very interested in and supportive of our Fish Quay Heritage venture. 
Do have a look at their web site:  http://blythbattery.org.uk 
You'll be inspired to visit.

you can see the planning application documents for the revamp of the Old Low Light:

 Main Range - Reopening of one east window, new door in existing west door opening, new stone paving at south, new signs, removal of stairs and partitions. 

Modern Off Shot - Alteration of pitched roof to second floor and terrace, new entrance door, bin store doors and signs, internal alterations for stair and lift.

One more step towards our Fish Quay Heritage Hub! 

Although this is a Grade 2 listed building, the modern offshot dates from the 1980s so there ought not to be any problems with permission for alterations there.

The interior of the main building was damaged by fire [before 1980s I believe] and all or most interior historical features were lost then.

It is proposed to rebuild the 3 chimneys - these would enhance the building, as would the small 2nd floor viewing terrace with glass balustrade. Intrigued? Have a look at the application!
