Bit of a contrast to the previous pictures. This one is of a more peaceful scene of Peel sea front,. taken the other day by my friendly local photographer. The groyne was built to stop the sand on the beach being washed away by the action of the tides. The original structure was of wood and concreted over maybe 100 years ago. I have a small piece of wood from the old groyne when it was exposed some years ago for repair work to the concrete. Why? I don't know. I tend to collect useless things !!!! Similarly, the Peel breakwater was a wooden structure in the 1800's and the present day breakwater was built around this, probably around the 1880's.
Sorry, this picture seems to have disappeared into the wild blue yonder .[ See 'Oops ' the final post on this blog ]
