Not sure what the purpose of the lighthouse is but there is (or maybe was - thanks to Covid 19 and acess only by lift) a restaurant up there. On the ground are two of the few remaining sections of track from the old tramway system.

Looks good against the beautiful cloud patterned sky. You wouldn't catch me up there though. I once went up the Post Office tower in London which also had a restaurant on top, revolving if I remember. Got out the lift and had to go straight back down again.

Yup, Jean. This one revolves too!
I remember a family meal to celebrate my great aunt's 70th birthday in about 1968 (I think - I was around 10) in the GPO tower restaurant. It was a clear night and it was exciting watching the lights of London as they revolved below one!

Only a very sharp-eyed sailor would be able to see this faro.

Impressive perspective, the framing is very attractive, especially the combination of historical periods and this well-stocked garden.

This reminds me of half of our Space Needle - also with a restaurant a the top - that rotates.

This photo really works with the comparison of the tower to the old building's tower - and your perspective give the feel of the height.

It looks quite imposing against the sky, but also out of place compared to the more tradition buildings. Nicely captured Andy.

.............and there's no way on earth I'd go up there..!!

The 'traditional' buildings aren't much older, Keith! All post civil war.
