Lighthouses of Wales

A fascinating illustrated history of the lighthouses around the coast of Wales from their beginnings to the present day.

There are more than thirty lighthouses around the coast of Wales. Many of these are well-known structures, located in spots of great natural beauty, but all play a vital role in warning seafarers of marine hazards and guiding them to safer waters. In this book author Warren Kovach looks at the development of lighthouses in Wales, how they have been operated over the centuries and who has been involved in their story – the lighthouse keepers and their families as well as the architects. Alongside the human story is that of technological development, the evolution of different types of structure, lamps and lenses, fog signals and the automated future in a world with GPS.

Beautifully illustrated throughout and including an appendix listing all Welsh lighthouses, both active and inactive, this book will appeal to those with an interest in these fascinating structures as well as the maritime history of Wales.
