Friday Photo: Hoylake Lighthouse

Hoylake Lighthouse

The old Hoylake lighthouse is Valentia Road (opposite Kings Gap Hotel) is a private residence and quite possibly one of the most photographed buildings in Hoylake.

I took this snap back in May and I’ve every intention of publishing another photo of the building in December. With it’s Christmas lights around the top of the lighthouse it looked great last year. I did think I’d taken a photo last December but I can’t seem to find it.

You must get some cracking views from up there!

    i have been up there once. a friend and i told the lady that lived there that we were doing an essay on the lighthouse. Any way she let us up and the view was breathtaking you could see right over to liverpool and beyond, wish we had taken a pic, would love to go up again…

    My mother worked, for a long time, for a very nice lady that lived there when I was a child, her name was Mrs Lowe, my eldest brother was taken up the lighthouse when he was a child but me and my other brother were never that lucky, unfortunately.

      That’s kind of you Lynda! My mother is now nearly 98 and living in Puddington…
      I was very lucky to be brought up at The Beacon with my sister Kate – as you can imagine having a lighthouse in your garden was pretty special!

    Seem to remember that the lighthouse was used by the Royal Observer Corps during the war. I used to take lunch up to my Dad, Danny Thwaite, when he was on duty up there during the war. (Daniel Thwaite was golf pro. at the Municipal for many years).

    I think in the 70s-80s it was owned by Tony and Carol Jordan, i think Tony used to play Badminton for Great Britain in the 60s.

    Tony and Carol were friends with my uncle and we often went there as kids in the 80’s,
    I think his grandson matty Jordan is the captain at the royal Liverpool golf course in hoylake now and Tony and Carol live in Spain
