We are here on the very windy Lancaster coast near the estuary of the River Lune. The view here is actually across the Irish Sea and the star attraction is this old 1847 lighthouse – ‘Plover Scar’ that protects the southern entrance of the river. It is just there that a small dockyard is situated – Glasson Docks. This used to be a place where sea-going ships unloaded their cargoes into canal-barges heading for inland mills and factories up the Lancaster Canal. See Pips and adjacent photo for closer look at this lighthouse and Glasson Dock itself. Enjoy full screen. HBM, have a good week.
