Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Breakwater at Knott End. At the end of the ferry slipway is a shallow breakwater which affords some protection from waves.
In the distance can be seen the old Wyre Lighthouse, built in 1840 by Alexander Mitchell, a blind engineer. The first of its kind, it rests upon 7 screw piles sunk into the seabed at the northern edge of North Wharf, the sandbank stretching from Fleetwood to the edge of Lune Deeps in Morecambe Bay. Unfortunately it was destroyed by fire in 1948 and has gradually fallen into worse decay since. See 721879. To the right of the light, on the horizon are the Cumbrian mountains. |
