GWW picture of Peedie Sea, and article

Picture taken sometime between 1877 and 1883,and the rest is self explanatory. I spent a lot of my teens at 4 Ayre Houses the end of which can seen at the extreme left of the Picture. Added by Phil Brough.

[It is a shame that the surviving piece of sea wall was knocked down when the new library was built- Steven]

Comments:
Isn't there a peedie bit of the sea wall incorporated into the wall in front of the new library? I'm sure there's a bit with a plaque on it.

[I think that is a reconstruction, and that the plaque indicates where the wall actually was, a few metres nearer the road- Steven]

This'll be the same sea wall featured in picture #21626 I'd imagine.
