Correct Leslie, there was a flagpole on the rocket hill on which a basket was raised, something to do with the tides or weather.
The houses at the end of Bay View were the original coastguard houses.
The rocket apparatus house was used by fishermen to store lobster pots etc until it was used as a shelter, this was as previously stated, a bit of a mistake as it was the target of vandalism and was eventually demolished after several incidents of fires.
