HODBARROW OLD LIGHTHOUSE, HODBARROW POINT, HAVERIGG, CUMBRIA, ENGLAND.

            THE OLD STONE HODBARROW LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1866, APPROXIMATELY 18 METERS (59 FT) ROUND STONE TOWER, WITH CASTELLATED TOP AND GALLERY. THE LIGHT WAS SHOWN THROUGH A PORTHOLE STYLE WINDOW. THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT AND OPERATED PRIVATELY BY THE HODBARROW MINING COMPANY TO GUIDE SHIPS SERVING ITS IRON MINES IN THE HAVERIGG AREA. THE LONG-ABANDONED TOWER IS OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS AND WILL SOON BE CRUMBLING INTO RUINS.LOCATED ON HODBARROW POINT EAST OF THE MINING COMPANY SEA WALL. 
IN APRIL 1905 THE BREAKWATER WAS COMPLETED AND A NEW CAST IRON TOWER LIGHTHOUSE WAS BUILT ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE SEA WALL. THE NEW LIGHTHOUSE FIRST EXHIBITED A LIGHT IN JULY OF THAT YEAR. IT REPLACED THE COMPANY'S OLD STONE LIGHTHOUSE WHOSE LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED ON THE SAME DAY.
