Grange Beacon is a beacon tower located on Column Road in Hoylake, Cheshire. Dating to the eighteenth century, it served as a navigational aid for shipping in the Dee Estuary, guiding vessels through the treacherous waters off the Wirral coast. The structure is a cylindrical stone tower, characteristic of beacon constructions of its period, and represents an important element of maritime infrastructure developed to improve safety and navigation in this busy commercial waterway. The beacon reflects the historical significance of the Dee as a major port and trading centre during the Georgian era.
