It’s taken me 52 years of living within a mile or so of it, but today I finally went up Leasowe Lighthouse. It was a nice clear day and we could see as far as North Wales and Lancashire but not quite clear enough for Blackpool Tower. I was escorted up the 130 winding steps by one of the members, Helen, who gave me lots of history about the lighthouse and the family who had run it.
The lighthouse is presenlty open on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. Further details at http://www.leasowelighthouse.co.uk/cms/
