General Discussion

I am trying to find information on the remains of what appears to be the supports of a peir or jetty just to the north of the rock. A double row of stumps are visible at low water and my attempts to trace their history online have been fruitless. I am hoping that one of the senior citizens of Dawlish will have some knowledge of the history of these remnants.

Hi Anthony. Hope all's good. Have you had a look at this site

Hope this is of some use to you

Hi dobbsydotcom, thanks for your rapid response to my query.

I had found a brief mention of the pier during Google searches (from  the Southampton Geo. site) but no details.

Your links will hopefully provide what i need.

Best regards.
