SD3348 : Pharos Lighthouse, Fleetwood

taken 1 year ago, near to Fleetwood, Lancashire, England

Pharos Lighthouse, Fleetwood
Pharos Lighthouse, Fleetwood
Opened in 1840, a somewhat unusual arrangement, as navigation by this light is done in conjunction with the nearby and much shorter beach light. When the two lights are visibly aligned, a vessel can safely navigate the treacherous sandbanks of the Wyre estuary.
