What a fascinating comparison, Coquet. Do we know anything about the waste tip?
It might have been thought that the piece below the Salt Pans might have been a bit protected from heavy seas, but obviously not.

Looks like they had just started up tipping here which I guessing is about 1910. Wellhaugh quarry is also totally in-filled with Edwardian rubbish - vast amounts of it, as it (the quarry) extended right back to the road - now that would be an interesting photo - the empty quarry before it was landfilled. I noticed the other day that the quarry road is still visible cutting across the links from near 'Manders' - it must have swung around near the high water mark and into the quarry floor.
