can you recognise this lighthouse?
« on: Monday 08 December 08 21:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I have this photo of a lighthouse which I originally thought was in Scotland where I now live...however, I went through a whole website on SCottish lighthouses and couldnt match it with any of the pictures...at that point I thought that it might not be in Scotland after all!

I think it might be South Stack lighthouse on Anglesey as i used to live near there too...cn anyone cofirm for certain thats where it is? Ive looked at pictures online and i think the outbuilding match with those in my pic...however someone local would be able to confirm with more certainty...
Many thanks
Alison

They look identical to me.

My grandfather used to be a postman prior to 1953 and used to deliver to South Stack.
