    Some Info on Perch Rock Lighthouse as I know it by. From Wikipedia >> It was built-in 1827 to replace a wooden Perch navigation light.
    The lighthouse was in continuous use until decommissioned in October 1973 having been superseded by modern navigational technology. Although the lighting apparatus and fog bell have been removed, the lighthouse is very well preserved and retains many features lost on other disused lighthouses.
    It was restored and repainted in 2001 when an LED lightsource was installed which flashed the names of those lost at sea; including all the 1,517 victims of the sinking of the Titanic. At low tide, it is possible to walk to the base of the tower, but a 25-foot ladder is needed to reach the doorway. The lighthouse is privately owned and maintained by the Kingham family, and is a Grade2 listed building.
    Another plan to illuminate the lantern using LEDs and solar panels was achieved with a grant from the Coastal Revival and New Brighton Coastal Community Team (NBCCT) and has been operating (albeit only to be seen from land) since 2015. The new light replicates the old characteristic of two white flashes followed by a red flash.

    Boss video as always mate.
    I remember a few years me and my brother went to what was meant to be the first time it was lit since 1973. They said the light would be as powerful as the lantern was when it was in use, so everyone that was there thought it would be like how it used to be.
    What a farce it was. Basically the solar panels power the LEDs that illuminate the inland side of the shaft of the lighthouse.

    Incredible video Mate, in the most perfect light. Been on the South Stack Lighthouse tour, well worth it, the lantern actually sits in a circular cast iron trough of mercury. So the lantern floats on a miniature 'Canal' of mercury and therefore has no bearings to wear out!!!!

    Great video Kev, really interesting to see the lighthouse close up! You should try the Mersey Tunnels ventilation buildings, George's Dock Building, Woodside Ventilation Station, theres a few of them on both sides of the water. I think it would be interesting to see them from above and get an idea of how they function.

    Looks like a nice clear day for it, Kev. That lighthouse would be a great place to stay between tides. Apparently its private owned by a wirral family ? I did look into a few years ago. My guess is the solar panels are for cctv or an alarm ?
