in 1928 an Esplanade was built on the shoreline, the posts of which have been under the gravel for decades, as the sea had other ideas. Recently the posts have been uncovered by yet another change in tide action. Now the residents want to build a sea wall to try and protect properties on the seaward side of the township, it would no doubt suffer the same fate.... you can see the posts when they were put in here https://westcoast.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/16551 https://westcoast.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/18330
How interesting to compare the installation of the esplanade against what remains today. The shoreline looks to be in a completely different spot, and I daresay your right about a new sea wall.... unless it's a bloody big one. I like this photo very much
They could ask the Dutch to help :-) We're good in that.
But I’m too tired. I do like this tho
