A Lighthouse Keeper's guided tours, Episode Thirty Four. Point of Ayr (Talacre)

We have now moved further along the North Wales coast to Point of Ayr Lighthouse, also known as Talacre.
This is yet another Lighthouse that you can only view from the outside, as it is in private ownership. There is only one story of a Keeper here, one Samuel Brooks and his Family that emigrated to America after becoming a Mormon. The Family walked 1300miles to Salt Lake city pulling a hancart. Both parents died from their efforts, one near the beginning, the other at Salt Lake City leaving 3 orphan children. You can find out more of their stories from:
