Love your videos! Thank you, Peter, for keeping the memory of these places and these people, long gone, but not entirely forgotten! Also, nice hat! :)

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you very much, much appreciated. As for the hat, that got accidently (or so I was told) thrown in the bin! Mind you, the replacement is only a tad better. Cheers and stay safe.

Marvellous, visuals and sound and digging out the history.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you very much. I had some great help from Stephen Pickles from Bidston Lighthouse, as it is a minefield of misinformation out there. Cheers and stay safe Mate.

Great video.My parents had a caravan in Talacre from the mid 60's to mid 80's.We spent most of our weekends and a couple of weeks there every year..Got great memories of it,spent many hours as a kid playing on the beach and on the dunes.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you very much. Glad you have some wonderful childhood memories of sand, sea and the Lighthouse. Stay safe Mate.

Thanks for the video Peter. One of my earliest memories is on holiday at a caravan site here circa 1975. I remember my Dad showing me this lighthouse which fascinated me. It was totally derelict at the time - I remember the door being missing and seeing an old rusty washing machine inside. My Dad told me there was treasure inside hahahah.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you for your memories, much apprecited. Not sure if the Lighthouse is in better shape now. I will have to pick a nice day and try and get over to it to get some more up to date pictures, (and search for treasure:). Cheers and take care.

@@PeterHalil Smashing Peter! Many thanks.

Hi Peter interesting to see the erosion that has taken place over the years. Cheers,

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you. Yes, I noticed that too, quite a dramatic amount. Cheers and take care.

[@alberttetley]

one of my favourite little lighthouses and a brilliant beach to take your dog on.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you for that. I haven't been back here for a few years now, so no idea if the Lighthouse has had any TLC yet. I agree, one very big lovely beach to wander along. Cheers and stay safe.

Hi Peter, Thanks for another great clip, have you ever been inside this lighthouse, where the internal photos taken by yourself?

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you very much. No, I didn't get to go inside, the internal pics were from the internet when the Lighthouse was up for sale. Cheers and take care.

[@alanoliver2197]

We had a caravan on point of ayr and the lighthouse was closer to thelands end (dunes).

[@PeterHalil]

Yes the dunes have really suffered over the years with erosion, the Lighthouse is now quite a distance from the dunes. It could do with one of those American teams that can move buildings to a safer spot maybe, or somebody doing some serious work on saving the dunes. cheers and stay safe.
