Noss Head Lighthouse & Post Box.

Noss Head Lighthouse & Post Box.
A hint of sea mist but otherwise good light, The Noss Head Lighthouse station
Once again I prefer the image large

Post Box in pip

For my personal Post Box Tuesday, A King George VI (1936-1952) post box on the gate post of the Noss Head Lighthouse Station, the inscription on the box and below an image of the complex reads as follows.

This letter box is located here to save the Postie a half mile round trip from the main gate to our houses and offices each day, over a hundred miles saved a year,
The Postie will always be welcome up at the main house for a cup of tea,
This mailbox is for convenience when the Postie is very busy,

Maria Lovasz, Erhard Bernstein, Nouchetdu38, Andrea Ertl and 33 other people have particularly liked this photo

Lovely images of this lighthouse and post box, Roger. If this lighthouse is still staffed, it must be one of the few anywhere still having light-keepers.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to tiabunna club
Many thanks George, It has fully automated since 2018,
In 2018, the Noss Head Lighthouse Principal Keeper's Cottage and Occasional Keeper's House remain as holiday accommodation. Whilst the former Engine House continues to be utilised as offices, workshop and the mess for retained lighthouse keepers employed by the Northern Lighthouse Board. (Wikipedia)

I love this shot Roger.............it has possibly the longest dry stone wall I've ever seen and you've taken full advantage of it in your composition.

The lighthouse and other building look splendid against the sky and I like the colours in the landscape.......and the wild flowers in the foreground.

A super PiP too.........I like the post box in it's lovely green livery..........and what a lovely note!

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Tremendous comments Keith, thank you,
The Sinclair clan, who appear to own most of the land in the area, obviously had money to spend on these monster walls and the odd castle or two which they have built over the centuries.
The lighthouse staff sound like a nice bunch of people
