2025: "To facilitate safe access into the Hoylake anchorage, two lighthouses were constructed in 1763,[16] at the initiative of William Hutchinson.[17] The lower light was a wooden structure that could be moved according to differing tides and shifting sands to remain aligned to the upper light, which was a permanent brick building. By the start of the 19th century each lighthouse was equipped with a single 3 ft-diameter reflector,[18] built to Hutchinson's design.[17]

Both of these structures were rebuilt a century later,[19] and in 1865 new lenses (a pair of fourth-order fixed optics) were designed and manufactured for the two towers by James Chance.[20] The upper lighthouse, consisting of an octagonal brick tower, last shone on 14 May 1886 and is now part of a private residence in Valentia Road.[19] The building was given Grade II listed status in 1988.[21] The lower lighthouse, closer to the shore in Alderley Road, was deactivated in 1908[22] and demolished in 1922. "
