(Both 9.9.1983 Copyright Steve Sainsbury)
I'm sure we have all spent many hours walking along this road! Back in 1983 there was a very high tide which played with the idea of flooding Pier Road. It wasn't to be but the swans in pic 2 looked hopeful! The green hut certainly looked like it had water coming up through the floorboards.
Bear in mind that sea levels have risen by a couple of inches since these pics, and the land has dropped about four inches, it's pretty clear why the recent works were needed ...
