16.0216.mysteryThe Mystery Photo from the last edition was difficult for everyone but Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill! She wrote: “This is St. Mary’s Lighthouse in Whitley Bay, northeast England, at low tide. At high tide it’s on a wee island. The only reason I know about it is because it’s about eight miles from Wallsend (Walls End) which is the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall (and about 50 miles south of the Scottish border). Your dog does look a lot like Doc Martin’s dog (which he claims to hate)!  St. Mary’s Lighthouse, St. Mary’s Island, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, is in Northeast England. The lighthouse was built in 1898 on site of an 11th Century monastic chapel. Monks there maintained a lantern on a tower to warn passing ships of the dangers of rocks on the island. The photo was sent in by George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
