Engineers removed a balcony from the storm-damaged Kingsand clock tower after it was hanging on with one bolt.!

The balcony provided outstanding views of Cawsand Bay with its small fishing boats, lobster pot buoys and yachts.  Also of Penlee Point, a wooded rocky peninsular with its smuggling history. The Clock Tower has always been a special place, from cream teas in the summer months to yoga and get together functions during the winter

The Great Western Railway line – Dawlish Devon UK 05-02-2014

 

The main railway line from Paddington Station to Penzance Cornwall was severed by huge waves breaking through the sea wall and removing bedrock support to rail track. Dawlish is a very popular seaside town and fortunately the Victorian stone built station further along, has survived!
