EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of The Lighthouse in Llandudno, Wales, as it stood in 1905. Located near Colwyn Bay in the historic county of Conwy, in the northern part of Clwyd, the lighthouse has been a guiding beacon for seafarers for over a century. Erected in 1873, the lighthouse stands proudly on the rocky outcrop of the Little Orme Headland, overlooking the Irish Sea. Its distinctive red and white stripes and tall, slender tower have become iconic symbols of the Welsh coastline. The lighthouse was automated in 1998, but its historical significance remains undiminished. The photograph, taken in 1905, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the lighthouse was manned by dedicated keepers who braved the elements to keep ships safe from the treacherous waters off the Welsh coast. The image also reveals the rugged, untamed beauty of the coastline, with the crashing waves and rocky shoreline providing a stark contrast to the ordered lines of the lighthouse. The Lighthouse in Llandudno is not only a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past, but also a reminder of the power and majesty of nature. This photograph is a precious historical record of a bygone era, and a tribute to the brave men and women who have kept the light burning for over a century.
