The Congleton Road Lighthouse, Cheshire, 1924

This remarkable concrete structure was constructed at Congleton in Cheshire to act as a warning sign to motorists at the top of a steep hill of the dangers ahead. At night the large panel was illuminated. The structure is topped off by a chimney - the ground floor being fitted out by the Royal Automobile Club as a room for motorists to rest and recuperate. This odd structure apparently survived until c1939. This appears in Ferro-Concrete Magazine for 1924.
