A Lighthouse Keeper's guided tours, Episode Twenty Nine, Holyhead Breakwater

We are still on Anglesey, and we visit The Breakwater Lighthouse. Before that we visit Salt Island Lighthouse, then afterwards, the Breakwater, then we visit North Stack Fog Signal Station.
All 3 are not open to the Public.
These films were made by me in the early 1990's.

13:05 It's very cool to see how the keepers have worn grooves into the stair steps from years and years of climbing them!

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you, and yes indeed, but alas no more. Cheers and stay safe.

Great video, information, content and stills. Agree your comment re state of the old light rotation mechanism on the breakwater light, must be rare, guess they usually ripped out and dumped when electric motor was installed, but in this case that stage got skipped. After lense removal for the new light with its own motor, just left the old lense support race and mechanism to decay as no need to remove, sad indeed.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you lots, very much appreciated. Yes, sad to see, and also enjoyed by many in a Museum rather than left to rot. In the past, it wasn't unknown for lenses on some Lighthouses to be trashed or tipped over the cliffs. Trouble is costs and time always seem to win. Cheers and stay safe

Such a shame they’re automated now. I wonder how many lives were saved by a lighthouse keeper’s vigilance?

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you, yes a crying shame. Cheers and stay safe.
