greg3 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Having recently purchased the Scooby Doo lighthouse, I've been inspired to create a series of MODs to show the history of Skull Rock (now part of my LEGO town story) This is how the rock looked in the 17th/early18th century when it was used by smugglers... image by g.nat, on Flickr image by g.nat, on Flickr Being just a mile or so offshore, the rock made a useful place for smugglers and pirates to store large amounts of goods before having them shipped to the beach. The smugglers themselves dug out the tunnel and caves in which their contraband could be hidden before it could be shipped to the beach. Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr The smugglers added basic wooden defences to protect themselves from rival groups and the forces of law and order!! Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Eventually the Government sent troops to put an end to this illicit trade but it's said that the ghost of at least one smuggler still haunts the rock, protecting treasure long since gone... Thanks for looking!! Comments are always welcome...
