Y Parlwr Du - the Point of Ayr - is one of the northernmost points of mainland Wales. It is situated at the mouth of the Deee Estuary, immediately to the north of the village of Talacre in Flintshire.
The lighthouse at Talacre was built in 1776 having been authorised by the Chester Lighthouse Act of the same year. It was notable for displaying two lights, a main beam, at 63 feet, that shone seaward towards Llandudno and a secondary beam that shone up the River Dee towards the hamlet of Dawpool in Cheshire.
While in service, the lighthouse was painted with horizontal red and white stripes, and was topped by a red lantern housing.
It operated until 1844, when it was replaced by a metal pile lighthouse, put up by order of the Corporation of Trinity House. The property has been in private hands since.
It was sold in April 2012, along with two acres of land, for the sum of £90,000

"A former freight container was transformed into a mobile sound studio with a lot of love and spray cans. Inside and in front of it, the old sounds of the respective locations were made audible again: the technoid pounding of the pneumatic hammers and coal planes at Nordstern colliery, the ambient clouds of sound over the coking plant, the industrial-minimal beats of the rolling mills - they provided the basic track for a live transcription of the old sounds."
