Congratulations.  I bow to your skills as a mathematician and analyst.  I’m afraid I took a more pedestrian coastal pilotage approach. I emailed ///media.secretly.resolves to Frank yesterday.  I didn’t post it on NavList, because I knew the mathematicians amongst us would be working away furiously.  For those who prefer lat and long, that comes out at around 52.821877N 001.533799E. 

Trying to identify aspect from the main two surrounding buildings is almost impossible, because they are so similar, each with two pairs of identical chimneys.  However, a 'Google Illustrations' study of the lighthouse itself, pronounced locally as Haisbro by the way, revels that one quadrant has three windows in a vertical line, one no windows, one two windows, and one quadrant one window.  We are looking towards the no windows quadrant.  This is confirmed by possibly the hard white led leadlight beam of a car coming along Lighthouse Road (you can’t drive along the top of the cliffs) and the telephone/electricity pole to the right which can just be identified on a 24” monitor using Google Maps Satellite photography as being on the car track up to the lighthouse.

 We now find we have a transit line from where the sole edge of the most southerly outbuilding chimney just peeps round the right-hand side of the lowest white band of the lighthouse.  Lining these using a ruler on the 24” monitor screen takes us to the corner of the field as indicated by Antoine.  Measuring with a Douglas protractor gave a line of 129°/309°.

Later, while tinkering around with online searches I came across: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2859169197552141&set=gm.7051825378231815&idorvanity=392153494199070 in which Christopher Dean states that he took the photograph with Orion Rising on 10^th Dec 2023.  I recommend looking at all this particular Christopher Dean’s photographs.  Playing with ‘Navigator’ star finder function for that date puts Rigel/Saiph in the positions photographed at around 21.00UTC.  I did miss one thing.  I chose a flat piece of mud on a small patch of waste ground, which would have been ideal for placing a tripod.  However, checking later still to see if I could emulate the aspect with ‘Google Street View’, I see someone has started building on that patch of scrub shown in ‘Satellite View’.
