Information/Autograph request
Picture postcard sent by Bray to The Principal Keeper, Penmon Lighthouse, near Beaumaris on 15th March 1907 asking for his autograph and some information to be supplied.
Trwyn Du Lighthouse, also known as Penmon Lighthouse, is a lighthouse between Black Point near Penmon and Ynys Seiriol, or Puffin Island, at the eastern extremity of Anglesey, marking the passage between the two islands.
The Lighthouse, built 1835-1838, is 29m tall and was designed by James Walker. It was his first sea-washed tower, and a prototype for his more ambitious tower on the Smalls.
The Lighthouse has a stepped-base designed to discourage the huge upsurge of waves that had afflicted earlier lighthouses on the site and reduce the force of the water at the bottom of the tower.
