Mumbles, The Lighthouse 1893

More about this scene
This picture of the famous lighthouse on Middle Head was taken from Bracelet Bay. Built in 1794, the lighthouse originally had two platforms, each with a coal-fired beacon to warn shipping of the dangers of the Mixon Sands and Cherry Stone Rock. In 1799 it became oil-fired, and it was converted to electricity in 1905. The last keeper retired in 1934 when it became an automatic light; it is presently the responsibility of Trinity House.
