Ellesmere Port Lighthouse

Yes there is a lighthouse in Cheshire, you don't need to be by the sea.  This lighthouse is also known as Whitby Lighthouse.  Some history, Ellesmere Port Lighthouse was built in 1880 and located at Whitby Locks, the junction of the Manchester Ship Canal and Ellesmere Canal. Its purpose was to guide ships into the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal dock from the River Mersey.
Engineer George Robert Jebb was the designer. He was appointed Chief Engineer of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canals Company from 1869 to 1919.
Jebb was responsible for the deep water quays, docks, warehouses and other buildings. He was appointed to the Upper Mersey Navigation Commission, later becoming Chairman
The extra is the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum. In the background can be seen the skyline of Liverpool.
