160814 Blue Anchor Bay
Managed to snatch a couple of hours or so this morning..............
The esplanade here runs atop a sea wall, the original of which was constructed in the mid 19th Century by Joseph Bazalgette who was best known for the London sewers and The Embankment. The bays along this stretch of coast were all guarded by a chesil bank, like the one at Portland but not so large. Bazalgette used the old chesil bank as the fouindation for his sea wall and later generations have added additional layers so the edifice no longer has it's original rather splendid Victorian look.
