Sea Lock, Sovereign Harbour
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 4 Aug 2012
The area known as the Crumbles, a shingle bank on the coast to the east of the town centre was redeveloped in the 1990s to build a marina, shops, and several thousand houses, along with luxury flats and apartments. Now known as Sovereign Harbour, the area was formerly home to many species of rare plants. Access between the tidal Outer Harbour (Image]) and the marina (Image]) is through twin sea locks, which are operated 24 hours a day.
