Lighthouses are many things – functional, mysterious, perilous, even romantic. Yorkshire’s coast is home to more than you might think. Enthusiast and artist Roger O’Reilly shares his passion.
The lighthouse represents a unique part of our maritime history and an aesthetically pleasing part of our built heritage. Long may they continue to shine. The current lighthouse at Flamborough- the name was initially presumed to originate as ‘the place of the flame’, but now thought to come from the Saxon ‘Flaen’ meaning dart, which the shape of the headland resembles - was designed in 1806 by Trinity House architect, Samuel Wyatt.
