	Strumble Head Lighthouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strumble Head Lighthouse stands on Ynys Meicl (St. Michael's), a rocky island at the northwest corner of Pencaer, five miles west of the town of Fishguard in the British Isles.
		It was erected in 1908 to improve the safety of sea traffic, warning of rocky coast and strong currents and serving as a navigational aid.
		The lighthouse was electrified in 1965 and fully automated in 1980.

	Lighthouses
		In England beacons burning in church towers served as lighthouses until the 17th century, and in the earliest lighthouses, such as the Eddystone, first built in 1698, open fires or candles were used.
		In lighthouses which are to shine only in one direction a combination of lenses, prisms and reflecting mirrors gives a concentrated and powerful beam.
		Winstanley began building the first Eddystone Lighthouse on July 14th 1696, when William the Third was on the throne, and the first summer was spent in making twelve holes in the rock and fastening twelve great irons to hold the work that was to be done afterwards.

		The North Foreland lighthouse was the last of Britain’s 72 manned lighthouses.
		Hugh, who had been a lighthouse keeper for 33 years, said, "It’s a sad day for me. It is not just the end of a job — it’s the end of a way of life."
		Instead of a 24-hour watch by Hugh and his five-man team, the lighthouse will now be monitored from a computerised control center — from miles away.
