Marine Terrace - storm damage
Marine Terrace - storm damage
This photo was taken the day after a violent storm, caused by a combination of spring tides and gale force winds, hit much of Southwest England and South and West Wales, with Aberystwyth being severely hit, with significant damage to the promenade.

Here paving slabs have been ripped up from the promenade alongside Marine Terrace, and are surrounded by sand swept up from the beach by the force of the waves. Two days later a further storm surge led to further damage here, with the shelter on the right of the photo collapsing.
