This war memorial once stood with no bathing pool and only rocks. The rocks themselves are known as Battery Rocks as there was once a battery of guns protecting our coast here during the Napoleonic Wars. Note the Scillonian at its winter mooring in the inner dock.
Looking southwards from Battery Rocks can be seen the Gear Pole on Gear Rocks. Prehistoric tools made of rock from here have been found in Scotland! Strong swimmers like to exercise by swimming out there but I have never dared to try it myself!
