Acrylic on Paper . . my rather fanciful image of this much loved local landmark . . Whiteford Lighthouse.
This long decommissioned cast iron lighthouse found at the furthest northern tip of Whiteford Beach is believed to be the last remaining cast iron lighthouse found in British Isles. The Llanelli Harbour and Burry Navigation Commissioners constructed the lighthouse in 1865 to mark the south side of the channel to the port of Llanelli; it replaced an earlier wooden structure of 1854. The lighthouse remained in use until 1933.
