. This print takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a mesmerizing view of The Black Rock fort and lighthouse in New Brighton, Merseyside. Captured circa 1830 by Robert Wallis after S. Austin, this image showcases a coastal defence battery that was constructed in the 1820s and later renamed Fort Perch Rock. The photograph beautifully captures the rugged charm of this historical site, nestled near Liverpool. Standing tall against the backdrop of stormy seas, the fort exudes strength and resilience as it guards against potential threats from across the waters. Intriguingly, amidst this maritime fortress lies a bustling scene filled with life. A small group of people can be seen engaging in various activities - sailing ships gracefully glide through choppy waves while rowing boats navigate their way around rocky outcrops. In the distance, a horse-drawn carriage adds an element of nostalgia to this vibrant tableau. The focal point remains on the majestic lighthouse perched atop The Black Rock fort – its guiding light providing solace for sailors navigating treacherous waters. This beacon symbolizes hope and safety amidst turbulent times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection, we are transported back to an era where man's ingenuity met nature's raw power. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with both history and adventure; capturing not only a moment frozen
