New Brighton Lighthouse

New Brighton Lighthouse

New Brighton Lighthouse, sits next to the fort, it was originally, a wooden “Perch”. A large post held a light on top and was supported by a sort of tripod. It was erected on the Black Rock in 1683 by the Liverpool Corporation.

When foreign ships, passed the old perch, they were charged sixpence for its respect and to keep it in repair. But it was often washed away and a boat had to be launched to recover it from Bootle Bay. In February 1821, the pilot boat “Liver” crashed into the perch and carried it away. It has been said that it was washed away in March 1824 and not recovered until the December.
However the cost of replacing it all the time grew too expensive and it was decided to build a new one.

    This is quite stunning. Excellent use of HDR. I like the almost perfect reflection, with the contrast of clouds around the lighthouse in the sky, rocks around it in the water.
