Leasowe Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse in Moreton, United Kingdom.
The cylindrical brick structure rises 33.5 meters above the Wirral Peninsula, featuring thick cavity walls and an iron staircase dating from 1898.
Built in 1763 under the Act of Parliament, this lighthouse directed maritime traffic through Rock Channel until its final illumination on July 15, 1908.
Mrs Williams, the last keeper, maintained the lighthouse and operated a tearoom, marking her position as a notable female lighthouse keeper in British maritime history.
The Friends of Leasowe Lighthouse organization opens the building to visitors on the first and third Sunday of each month from spring to autumn.
The structure required 660,000 hand-made bricks during construction, making it the oldest standing brick lighthouse in the United Kingdom.
