BREAKWATER - c1957
Walking by the tramway
By Laurie Stonehouse
This picture shows my Grandparents, Martin and Gladys Ladd out for a walk along the breakwater in the 1950's. The old tramway track is clearly visible in the left of the photograph, the entire length of this line would have been removed in the mid 1960's. Prior to the track being removed, it would have ran all the way from the end of the Breakwater to the old Victorian swing bridge. The track covered quite some distance, plenty of old sleepers and tonnes of scrap metal! Where did it all end up?
