Maryport
Maryport was originally the creation of the Senhouse family back in the 18th century, they developed the small fishing village into a coal port. Maryport is a pretty harbour town in Cumbria which offers views along the Solway Firth.
The first recording of a lighthouse at Maryport
was in 1796 by the Scottish Civil Engineer & famed designer & builder of lighthouses, Robert Stevenson. He described its design five years later as an oil lamp with two reflectors.
With the construction of the new dock in 1833, a new pier and lighthouse were built. The lighthouse was established in 1846 and it is reported to be the oldest cast-iron lighthouse in the UK and is a Grade II listed building.
