Pharos Lighthouse.

First illuminated on 1 December 1840 it stands in the middle of a residential street (Pharos Street) Fleetwood Lancashire.

So there must be some sea pretty close by? How interesting - wonder which came first, the village or the lighthouse!

[Graham Thresher]

A brilliant shot. Fav

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Love the format, it emphasises the way the lighthouse dominates the other buildings. Nicely done.

fabulous mono lee, nice inclusion of the tram lines.
we went on the tram to fleetwood on a weekend trip to Blackpool about 10 years ago. I always remember my Grandma say Fleetwood market was great. MAybe it was back in the day when she was a Blackpool pensioner, but OMG it was tacky when we visited !

[Christine]

Great atmospheric shot

[Babs]

Fantastic shot. Is it still a functioning lighthouse.

[Lee]

@onewing Hi Babs, Yes, Fleetwood has two Lighthouses and they are both still functioning. Thank you for asking.

[Joy Maguire]

[Taffy]

How unusual! Well composed shot.

@almondjoy1 Hi Joy, here's a little info about this lighthouse. Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharos_Lighthouse_(Fleetwood)

It looks huge against the other buildings and almost out of place. Quite majestic against the clouds.

[Phil Howcroft]

well never knew that lee, but hey i've only been to fleetwood once

[Louise]

Great shot. I've never been to Fleetwood - might have to rectify that!
