BREAKWATER LIGHTHOUSE At the end of the Breakwater at more than 1¾ miles out to sea stands the Breakwater lighthouse. It is thought to have been unusually designed as a square-shaped tower to make it's living quarters more comfortable. The lighthouse was manned until November 1961. One of the last keepers was Mr. David John Williams, who is now an official designated Trinity House speaker. Mr. Williams can be contacted by telephoning (01407) 831306. The internal fabric of the building has sadly subsequently fallen into disrepair, and it is the intention of the Holyhead Breakwater Railway Company (HBRC) to work on it's refurbishment, in conjunction with the Holyhead Maritime Museum. It is hoped to have a display illustrating the building of the Breakwater on the ground floor, with a recreation of the keeper's sleeping area as it was when it was manned on the first.
