Remains of Old Sea Wall, Western Green beach

Oh yeah.. what year was this taken, was this after the 2014 storm?

Yes... This whole album was taken on the 20th April 2014, just after the storm.

So is that the sea wall that was destroyed in the big storm of 1880 or the ash Wednesday storm in the 60s I wonder

I'm not sure... this line of stones extends from Tolcarne (near the Fisherman's Memorial) almost as far as the existing Prom where the Larrigan River joins the sea.

Looking at Treeve's photo here: http://www.picturepenzance.com/media/tolcarne.22395/ from 1880, I see no wreckage that far along, so I guess it must be later?

Just found a great pic of the 1962 Ash Wednesday storm:

"the damage wasn't just restricted to the Penzance end, here the entire sea wall protecting the Tolcarne car park was destroyed with the pounding seas forcing huge granite stones against the wall of Peake's the Funeral Directors and Shipwrights.."

And the Bolitho Gardens:



So yep, 1962, I reckon.

Yeah I guess it must have been. Just look at the destruction
