Swallowing lead

I removed this phrase from the article:

One of the keepers who tried (in vain) to fight the fire swallowed a large amount of molten lead, which killed him after some days.

If someone can confirm or deny this, it would be great.

I have put it back in, with more detail. I'll get the name of the museum in Edinburgh as soon as I can!

Devon or Cornwall?

Does Eddystone Lighthouse fall in the county of Devon or Cornwall? Most sources seem to say Devon but the article implies Cornwall. (I am categorising a collection of postcards). Tony Corsini 23:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This Hansard debate [1] seems to indicate that it's in the parliamentary constuency of South-East Cornwall.--JBellis 18:57, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
