The ends of two steel-tipped wooden piles caught my eye on today's ramble with a camera. Stacked on the promenade awaiting use in the building of new groynes, each piece of Greenheart timber ranges from 10 to 13 metres (33 to 43 feet), in length. An idea of their size can be judged here.
The £44 million programme will take 17 years to complete, but during this current phase only 10 of the 53 groynes along the coastline are being replaced. Work is expected to be completed by the end of May, after which the public will be given back the use of the beach.
