It's likely that a certain Mr. Morrison, the proprietor back in 1909, was the mastermind behind this creation. He not only owned the place but also took it upon himself to construct a sturdy sea wall right in front of his property. This ingenious move ensured a continuous sea wall stretching from the Castle on the east side of the village all the way to Mr. John Brock's charming villas, a mere three hundred yards to the west. The consensus was that this development was nothing short of 'a most and beneficial one'.
