Full description
Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.
Sections of pipeline are visible along the Brixham Breakwater which are believed to have formed the link with the fuel tanks in the quarry to the south of Berry Head Road (see SX95NW/136 & 136/1). This complex of sites, including the now demolished tanks on the site of the current quarry car-park (SX95NW/136), was clearly of considerable significance in terms of launching and re-fuelling craft, and their defence.
