A Vertical View of St. John's Point Killough Lighthouse in County Down, Northern Ireland: A Blend of History and Natural Beauty This vertical photograph, taken circa early 1900s, showcases the iconic St. John's Point Killough Lighthouse in County Down, Northern Ireland. The image offers a unique perspective, with the lighthouse towering majestically over the buildings to its left. The rugged cliffs and the vast expanse of the Irish Sea serve as a breathtaking backdrop. Located in the picturesque village of Killough, this lighthouse has been a beacon of hope and guidance for mariners since its construction in 1872. Standing at a height of 11 meters (36 feet), it features a distinctive red and white banded tower and a lantern room, which houses a powerful light that can be seen for up to 16 nautical miles. The buildings to the left of the lighthouse, huddled together for protection against the elements, add a sense of history and charm to the scene. The village of Killough, with its quaint cottages and narrow streets, has a rich maritime heritage. The area was once a thriving fishing community, and the remains of a 17th-century castle can still be found nearby. This photograph not only captures the architectural grandeur of the lighthouse but also highlights the enduring connection between the local community and the sea. The vertical composition adds depth and drama to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical photographs or artworks depicting the Irish coastline.
