Penmon Lighthouse - 30th March 2017
Trwyn Du or Penmon Lighthouse is a lighthouse between Dinmor Point near Penmon and Ynys Seriol, or Puffin Island, at the eastern extremity of Anglesey, marking the passage between the two islands.
There had been a call for a light at this location for some years by master shipmen in the nearby city of Liverpool especially after the steamer the Rothsay Castle ran aground and broke up nearby in 1831 with 130 people losing their lives. The first lighthouse was erected in 1838.
The present Lighthouse is 29m tall and was designed by James Walker and built in 1835-1838
