Blyth High Light Lighthouse - Click for bigger imageThe High Light is situated at the back lane of Bath Terrace in Blyth and appears a strange place for the position of a lighthouse. However, when it was built in 1788 it was only about ten metres from the shoreline. The photograph was taken in April 1978.
