Black Nore Lighthouse

While I was checking my facts about the proposed closure of Hartland Point lighthouse I discovered another lighthouse from the South West that I have photographed that is short-listed for closure.


Built in 1894, this rather unusual iron lighthouse in the Bristol Channel near Portishead in Somerset overlooks the South Wales coast and helped guide ships headed for Portbury Docks up the channel.

I suppose it's closure is the onward march of technology.
