New Brighton Lighthouse, Grade II* listed lighthouse in Wirral, United Kingdom.
The stone lighthouse stands 28.5 meters tall at the confluence of the Mersey River and Liverpool Bay on Perch Rock outcrop.
Built in 1830 by Tomkinson & Company using granite blocks from Anglesey Island, the lighthouse guided ships through the Mersey waters until 1973.
This maritime structure maintains its original architectural elements, including dovetail joints and marble pins, representing British coastal engineering excellence.
During low tide, visitors can walk to the base of the tower, though accessing the entrance door requires climbing equipment.
A modern LED installation at the lighthouse displays names of people lost at sea, including the 1517 victims of the Titanic.
