Allotments, Beresford Road, Seaton Sluice
These allotments cover a fairly large area lying between Beresford Road and Collywell Bay Road. Whilst the history of allotments goes back many centuries, it was not until the Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908 came into force that local authorities were legally obliged to provide "sufficient allotments according to demand". This duty was further extended with the passing of the Land Settlement Facilities Act 1919 with the rights of allotment holders being strengthened by the Allotments Act 1922. However, the most important change was introduced when the Allotments Act 1925 established statutory allotments which local authorities could not sell off or covert to other uses without Ministerial consent.

Coastal defences, Collywell Bay
See another photo for a brief discussion of the geology: Image
There is a good disscussion about erosion of this coastline, including the measures taken to protect the cliff face below the houses on Collywell Bay Road, in Chapter 8, 'Changing Coastal Environments' in Changing Environments by Susan Bermingham (2000).
The most recent sea defences comprising large concrete slabs attached to the cliff face at the northern end of the bay were completed in 1981. The older, cliff-base, defenses in the foreground have brought about an accelerated rate of sand removal from the natural protection afforded by the beach of Collywell Sands which used to extend below the cliffs. Undercutting of the defenses is now taking place as a result of increased wave energy. The movement west of the mean high water mark is clearly demonstrated by comparison of old maps.
