Full description

Marine Civil Solutions., 2020, Lee Sea wall, Ilfracombe (Ground Photograph). SDV363991.

About 6.0 metres of an old road surface or a kerbed and cobbled pavement was exposed during repairs to the sea wall following storm damage. It abuts the seawall and is probably contemporary with it. Neither appear to be shown on the Tithe Map. The surface is probably, therefore, later Victorian or later in date.
