By Pete Mason
Here are 3 pictures of the annual Regatta, they are date 7th August, 1882.
Note the crowd and also the fact that the West Promenade and Breakwater are still under construction with materials and debris everywhere.
Also in the top two pictures can be seen a semi-circle of rocks which are sometimes still visible today.
No Health & Safety issues then, no beach closed off then, how ever did they survive?
