Skinningrove Edward Nicholl. This illustrates the point made by Mick Garratt as the flood outlet is very narrow and would suffer from debris upstream in a flow event, thus requiring some further attention to the flood discharge works to move trees and flood water as well as fairly large sediment blocks, emanating in part from the industrial works. The problem with old industrial waste and iron mass in particular is that it sticks together to form a congealed blockage to normal flow and any and every flood just moves it into areas where it can congest more sites as well as become strewn across the beach, Mick Garratt photograph again

I presume that not far from here is the Michael Caine view of the waste tip gantry to sea and wash along the beach "Get Carter", it sorts of depicts Cornwall Kaolin Clay, Tin mine, Aberystwyth slaked lime towers, Slat quarry deposits as typical mining England and Wales and I noted Scotland Lanark now has waste coal spread all over the estates upon which these are being built. Dust everywhere. Dave Stimpson presumably
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/pipexdsl/o/aouq09/getcarter/gcas2.ht msearching Get Carter has pinpointed Blackhall Rocks, however as he has noted the pace at which the actors can run is immense and as far as I can see and his search indicates the colliery cable way that covered the beach in waste has largely gone, but it is a very long distance in the film ahead of the pursued man. No search on the Geograph maps defines this, but I presume it to be background from Blackhall, Chris Riley and Dave Stimpson do not define locations in their pictures. The beach has clearly changed and some returnto pebble and shingle has occurred. Thank you to all the site photograpers work searched. There may be only one relic of this cable way and that is Get Carter the film, which presumably is archived for those who wish to work Historical research and bring common sense and science to coastal process, erosion and weather research. It does prove that the sea and efforts to clean up beaches from industry can remove a lot of material in a very short time, Barton Sands, Portishead, the clay cliffs of the region south of Hull, we do not need Global Warming to lose beaches farms and villages, only erosion and normal sea events. I am a little disappointed that some of the best industrial archaeological sites have been removed, but then what counts as Heritage seems to depends who you are in this country, not real History. Those sites with old photographs are very interesting.
