This stamp depicts 2 lights of Peel Harbour.  I was sure that the one of the left was Peel PierHead.  But the other one, at the right, was difficult to confirm because the images were poor. Today I received a better image of the stamp that cleared my doubts. A little explanation:

Take a look at this photo of the lighthouses situation in Peel Harbour.  Click over the image for a bigger view. The photo was taken by me and I was standing exactly opposite of the point of view of the stamp. 

That lighthouse at the right of the stamp (left of this image) could be Peel Castle Jetty or Peel Breakwater, depending of where the designer put his point of view. The poor images didn´t help because it wasn´t clear if the lighthouse was white with a black base or was white and green in horizontal bands.  

Well, this is the lighthouse at the right of the stamp:
