EDITORS COMMENTS
Perch Rock Lighthouse, New Brighton, Liverpool - A Timeless Maritime Landmark Amidst the Crowds This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the bustling seaside resort of New Brighton in Liverpool. At the heart of the scene lies the iconic Perch Rock Lighthouse, originally known as New Brighton Lighthouse or Perch Rock Lighthouse. Construction of this historic landmark began in 1827, with its distinctive red and white stripes standing tall against the backdrop of the Irish Sea. The lighthouse, which once played a crucial role in guiding mariners safely to the shores of Liverpool, has not been in use as an active navigational aid since 1 October 1973. With the advent of modern navigational technology, it was no longer needed to serve its original purpose. However, its allure and historical significance have not waned. Today, the Perch Rock Lighthouse is lovingly maintained by the Kingham family, preserving its rich maritime heritage for generations to come. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the lighthouse standing proudly amidst the crowds of visitors, who have gathered to marvel at this timeless landmark. This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the enduring allure of the sea and the importance of our connection to it. The Perch Rock Lighthouse remains a cherished symbol of Liverpool's maritime history and a testament to the power of preservation.
