Summer Solstice in New Brighton

            New Brighton Lighthouse (also known as Perch Rock Lighthouse and called Black Rock Lighthouse in the 19th century) is a decommissioned lighthouse. The name comes from a Perch; a timber tripod supporting a lantern first erected in 1683 as a crude beacon to allow shipping to pass the rock safely.
Construction of the present tower began in 1827 by Tomkinson & Company using blocks of interlocking Anglesey granite using dovetail joints. It was decommissioned in October 1973.
Height: 28.5 metres (94 ft)
Shape: tapered cylindrical tower with balcony and lantern
Markings: white tower, red lantern
