The final part of my short series charting the history of "Skull Rock" from the 10th century to the modern day. This part focuses on the lighthouse.

The "Skull Rock Light" was built in 1867 after a number of shipwrecks in the area claimed over 200 lives.

The lighthouse was eventually automated in 1968 and decommissioned in 1992. It's now operated as a museum for the minifigs in my Lego town.

Thanks for looking...
