A regular visitor to Burnham-On-Sea has built his impressive replica of the town’s famous beach lighthouse in his own garden.
Peter Beardsmore has constructed the one-tenth scale model of the iconic white-and-red lighthouse, which now takes pride of place at his home.
Peter told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We visit Burnham every year and were always fascinated by your lighthouse which seems to stand so forlorn out in the middle of the sea.”
”I decided I wanted my own one so I made a model for the garden!”
The impressive structure has been carefully crafted using half-inch exterior ply with a metal roof and a small light inside.
Its legs are made from one-inch steel tubing, giving the miniature lighthouse a sturdy finish.
The real Burnham lighthouse, built in 1832, is one of the town’s most photographed landmarks. Read more about its history here.
