The Point of Ayr Lighthouse, also known as the Talacre Lighthouse, is a Grade II listed building situated on the north coast of Wales, on the Point of Ayr, near the village of Talacre. It was built in 1776 by a Trust of the Major, Recorder and Aldermen of Chester to warn ships entering between the Dee and the Mersey Estuary. It was replaced by a pile light and was decommissioned in 1844. It is now a privately owned property. The lighthouse was listed on the property market in November 2011 by then owner James McAllister, along with two acres of land, for £100, 000. It was eventually sold in April 2012 for £90, 000 to a private couple who continue to own the property. Paranormal activity - Two alleged incidents have been reported by Wales Online
