| Introduction |
| The lighthouses
of the Merseyside and Wirral areas of Liverpool
Bay represent one of the most evocative hooks
into the region's maritime past. Their history is
irrevocably linked with storms, wrecks and the
hazardous coastline of rocks and shifting banks,
but also with prosperity and the vibrancy of
trade. This site describes all of the surviving
historical lighthouses in the area and most of
the ones that have been lost. |
