- This was filmed in the early 1990's.
We've finally left Anglesey and are now heading along the North Wales coast to visit the Great Ormes Head Lighthouse at Llandudno.
This Lighthouse is located on a one way toll road.
Also, as it is now a B&B, it isn't open to visitors unless you stay there.
The lens was removed and is now located inside the visitors centre, which you have to visit first, as it is located off on a side road, before the lighthouse.

Those old lenses are beautiful pieces of art in my opinion
Definitely, beautiful pieces of art. Thank you for your comments. Stay safe.
Great video and photos. Like the name rest and be thankful. Reflects my motto I live by of appreciate what you have every day, never take it for granted.
Thank you very much. I totally agree with not taking life for granted, we are only here for a blink of an eye in time, so why not enjoy it and be nice to each other. Cheers Mate and take care.
Hello Peter, i look forward to the Florida Light Houses, whilst visiting Bike Week at Daytona Beach in 1995 also 2001 i visited Ponce de leon Inlet Lighthouse which was amazing, there was an American Tug boat the F.D. Russell displayed next to the Keepers House which had famously towed Mr Hitler's private Yacht to Flagler Beach as a war prize after WW2. Great videos as always Peter 👌 Best Wishes 👍🏴🏴😎
Yet another really interesting video. I just searched on the British Newspaper Archive and found in the Western Morning News and Daily Gazette, Saturday 3rd October 1936, a radio programme called 'In Passing' broadcast at 8.30pm has the following description 'The microphone will visit The Great Orme Lighthouse, Llandudno, and Richard Greaves caretaker, will be interviewed'. I wonder if that recording still exists somewhere?
Thank you very much for that, sounds interesting. Somebody somewhere may have that stashed. It would be like looking for a needle in the proverbial haystack I guess. I often think of how little footage that seems to be out there on Keepers going up the winch on boat reliefs on the Bishop Rock, and yet every boat relief had tourist boats out watching it all with several people filming it. Lost in a box in the loft no doubt. Cheers and take care.
posh!
Yes, it is. Not what the Keepers were used too, I bet. Take care and thank you.
Peter, I am concerned you don't have 100's more for future Sundays. I hope you and your family are doing well.
Thank you and we are well thanks. I'm almost at the end of this run of video and then I will be doing a few other lighthouses from this years trip to Florida. Then I have no idea, unless I can do more Holiday lighthouses, Scotland maybe? Cheers and take care.
