"Perch Rock Portrait Picture Postcard"

The lighthouse is just offshore from Fort Perch Rock, a coastal defense battery built in 1826 to protect the Port of Liverpool. The fort, nicknamed the “Little Gibraltar of the Mersey,” is now privately owned and is the site of a museum that is open all year. The museum houses one of England’s largest collections of World War II aviation relics.
