Flood gate, flood wall and profiled sea wall by Den Promenade, Teignmouth
Only since the tidal flood defences were constructed along the back beach have I really noticed these older flood gates and walls by Esplanade and the Den Promenade. They may date from 1990. The gates appear to be made of steel plate. As with the more recent gates, they close against a slightly raised smooth and level concrete cill, foreground. On the left can be seen an access from the raised footway on the street side of the wall. This floodgate is seen closed in
SX9473 : A floodgate has been closed, Den Promenade, Teignmouth. 1990 seems a likely date for the whole sea front from the Den Promenade south to the Point.
