Description

Blackhead Lighthouse, near Whitehead, and Charlie Witherspoon is outside with a shillelagh. Of course he is. He meets Bill Power, Lighthouse Keeper and maker of shillelaghs as souvenirs. He shows Charlie the process he follows to make the tiny cudgels for the tourist trade. We suppose time passes slowly in a lighthouse.  

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
