About the Event

Chris is well known to us and a member of the Society committee, he will explain that the transformation of an isolated headland into a thriving seaside town was no accident. It required huge investment of money, time and muscle, moving tons of stone and earth and years of designing, digging, carting and construction. The talk will lay bare some of the challenges and the massive efforts required to allow the creation of the town we now see.
