Seawick: Seaview Road
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 28 Oct 2018
Unsurprisingly old large scale Ordnance Survey maps show that the current day road layout in Seawick and its holiday village follows the old farm track and boundary layout from before development. But the 1958 edition shows this road as Seawick Road, not Seaview Road, and with what appear to be permanent houses where the amusement arcades are now. In addition at the end of the road, at the junction with Beach Road, was a public house called The Monks Head. The public house building probably still exists but has in all likelihood been converted into an amusement arcade.
