Summary edit
| Description |
English: Pharos Lighthouse, Fleetwood Pharos Lighthouse (Upper Light) is the second of Fleetwood's onshore lighthouses designed by Decimus Burton. Also built in 1840 of sandstone but more slender and over twice the height of the Lower Light. When the Upper Lighthouse is seen directly above the Lower Lighthouse by an approaching ship, the captain knows that it is safely in the channel. Originally one of three lighthouses, the third the Wyre Light, designed by blind engineer Alexander Mitchell is set 2 miles off the coast. Unfortunately it was decommissioned in 1979 and has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. |
