After the Ash Wednesday Storm. It was realised that the combination of the shape of the Bathing Pool and the direction of the slip, that storm water was encouraged to spread over that end of the Promenade. There are other albums here. We all took different sights of the event, so together the coverage is quite comprehensive.
I bet Health and Safety wouldn t allow that today! Do you know if experts in dynamite handling were bought in from the quarry to do this or did they draft in someone else to oversee the demolition?
There was an employee of Conoley and Co who did that work I believe he was one of the stone masons probably with blasting experience
the sea wall of the old baths at wherrytown were also moved by dynamite....
They criss crossed the area with old conveyor belts before detonating, I remember there was an elderly gentleman asleep on a seat there
at the end of South Terrace - it never woke him up !!
