Billinge Hill Beacon Coasters – A Little Bit of Lancashire History for Your Table
Bring a piece of Lancashire’s history right onto your coffee table with these unique laser-engraved card coasters featuring the legendary Billinge Hill Beacon.
Long before mobile phones and WhatsApp groups (and probably a few cups of tea), Billinge Hill played a vital role in protecting the country. If invading armies were spotted, a beacon fire would be lit on the hilltop. That blazing signal could be seen for miles, alerting the next lookout point at Ashurst Beacon, who would then light their own fire.
And so the warning travelled across the landscape — hill to hill, fire to fire — spreading the alarm across Lancashire.
