TRWYN DU (PENMON) LIGHTHOUSE WINDMILL | EXPLORING WALES (Drone Footage)
This Drone Footage Video captures Trwyn Du Lighthouse, also known as Penmon Lighthouse, is a lighthouse between Black Point near Penmon and Ynys Seiriol, or Puffin Island, at the eastern extremity of Anglesey, marking the passage between the two islands.
The first lighthouse was erected in 1838, at a price of £11,589. There had been a call for a light at this location for some years by master shipmen in the nearby city of Liverpool, especially after the steamer the Rothsay Castle ran aground and broke up on nearby Lavan Sands in 1831 with 130 people losing their lives.
The present Lighthouse, built 1835-1838, is 29 metres (95') tall and was designed by James Walker. It was his first sea-washed tower, and a prototype for his more ambitious tower on the Smalls.
The Lighthouse has a stepped-base designed to discourage the huge upsurge of waves that had afflicted earlier lighthouses on the site and reduce the force of the water at the bottom of the tower.
Austere vertical walls, instead of the usual graceful lines of other rock towers, are probably an economy measure. The tower has a crenellated stone parapet, in preference to iron railings on the gallery, and narrows in diameter above the half-way point. These are features used by Walker in his other lighthouse designs. The tower is distinguished by its original three black bands painted on a white background. Its also bears the words "NO PASSAGE LANDWARD" on its north and south sides.
Walker also pioneered, unsuccessfully, the use of a primitive water closet, comprising a specially designed drain exiting at the base of the tower. The stepped design of the lighthouse may have helped water exit the closet, but surges of seawater made its use difficult during heavy weather.
The light-source initially was a 4-wick Argand lamp, set within a first-order fixed catadioptric optic manufactured by Isaac Cookson & co. It displayed a fixed red light.

    First went there as an Air Cadet in March 1983 to do a week long Gliding Course at Syerston. Course got snowed out but got to look around the Missile Museum in 4 Hanger which was the RAF's Missile Technical training school (Did Engineer training on Martel, Firestreak, Red Top and Bloodhound Missiles). All of the missiles in the museum ended up at RAF Museum Cosford. Went back there in 1986 to learn how to fix Bloodhound Mk2 missiles.

    Is this damn thing still in use? I had to cross it back in 2006 with a European car ( the stirring wheel was on the left side ) and I manage to do so with the help of my partner who had made a map of it and told me where to go. In the style get there on the left side, stop here, on this one we get clockwise .... such kind of instructions....lol What helped of course a lot was the fact that my car had foreign plates and so the other drivers stopped or kindly let me pass. Otherwise it would have been impossible to cross this crazy roundabout without causing a collision as it is impossible to comprehend who is going where and when you are into this roundabout you have the notion that the cars are coming from all directions. I don't know and I can't even imagine who was the idiot who designed this thing.

    For first timers passing through that "roundabouts-in-a roundabout" would be a scary task especially for North Americans 😂 & new drivers. Yet from Aerial drone footage the moment of passing vehicles from all directions captured in "top down " view makes it feel easy for drivers ( which i suppose is if one passes through it 4-5 times ) . Actually it is a great way to make drivers learn roundabout concept through "top down " looking videos . Great video 👍🏽

It had such a huge impact on me that I trained as a Geologist 8 years later, although in the end I didn't follow a career in the subject due to the demise of mining in the UK. But I still have fond memories of my time there. Now retired, I'm back in Cumbria again after leaving for 50+ years and believe it or not I have just acquired a large beautiful combination specimen of hematite, specularite and quartz from the Florence Mine!
