Summary
| Description |
English: Guile Point West
One of a pair of navigation beacons on Guile Point, this one otherwise known as West Old Law, reflected in water on the track onto Fenham Flats used by the oyster farm, Lindisfarne Oysters. Built in the first part of the 19th Century by Trinity House of Newcastle upon Tyne, their purpose was to guide sailors into Holy Island Harbour by aligning the two beacons. By the 1990s, a solar powered light had been fitted to Guile Point East and Guile Point West became redundant. Responsibility for Guile Point East was transferred to Trinity House (as distinct from Trinity House of Newcastle upon Tyne) in 1995. The two beacons are grade II listed. |
