Bitey and I went for a lunchtime walk in the drizzle and found ourselves surrounded by knobs at what's left of the End-of-the-Line. Bitey didn't seem fussed, but I was thrilled, let me tell you! And I'm sure at least one of you will be, too.
There were mini chalk mountains to traverse.
These "ruins" (probably more aptly described as rubble) are, I suspect, what's left of Beck Hythe fishing station.
They're not usually on show, but the seasonal rough seas have swept away much of the sand leaving behind all sorts of interesting objects.
If one is actually interested in such things, anyway...

Googling "Skiers Spring bricks near Barnsley" almost led me down a rabbit hole of brick-spotting madness (who knew such a thing existed?)!
The End-of-the-Line!
From above...
... and below.
And I shall leave you with two of the more prominent old knobs. Enjoy!
[More crusty old groynes can be found here. Some of them even featured in a calendar!]
I’ve been down a brick rabbit hole before - weirdly compelling.
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see some knobs from you.

P.S What breed of dog is Bitey again?
I shouldn't have been surprised at people's fascination with bricks. I mean, some people are obsessed with chocolate covered engineers who frolic with Beluga whales...
DeleteWhat breed is Bitey? A very annoying one! (Half Parson Russell, and the other half is made up of Jack Russell, Border, and Lakeland)
