Granitechops Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Photos taken Mon 14th April Dawlish Town beach ramp to left under bridge by Station I cant remember the sand being so low I have never seen these pipes etc being uncovered, in the 40 years I have lived in the area groyne looks like rail uprights used old sewer pipe that ran parallel to shoreline another one free of its concrete jacket normally the beach is halfway up this top part of the slope old sewer running down lower slipway bit of old masonry, from station? in a long ago previous storm? There appears to have been a very visible along shore creep of beach material from south to north taking away from this side of the breakwater situated by the middle of the viaduct entrance to the beach whereas the other side of that break water the beach is near enough to the top of the walk last summer by the kiosk there was a 2-3 ft drop off at the bottom of that slipway EDIT;- So I imagine the sand etc will have pilled up at the Red Rock breakwater near Dawlish Warren but cant get any where near there yet and the beach was so busy, that it was difficult to get any pictures not obscured by bodies Edited April 15, 2014 by Granitechops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain147 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yesterday on the dawlishbeach camera, two men moved a number of metal railing panels onto the footpath - does that mean the footpath is to be fitted with a safety fence? I don't ever remember there being a fence here, but there is some evidence nearer the red rock that there was once such a fence. Any ideas?

I don't ever remember there being a fence here, but there is some evidence nearer the red rock that there was once such a fence. Any ideas? Think I saw that too I thought that it was safety fencing that had been in use as they were repairing the parapet, being removed which continued on after the line had opened, & the only access was along the outside of the seawall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Doesn't Dawlish Bay look beautiful beyond the works? Just right for a school holiday for a change and may many folk visit and see the great work that has been done/is being done.

RJS1977 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 ISTR that some of the sewage pipes used at Dawlish were the old Atmospheric pipes being reused. IIRC the section of pipe at Didcot did some service as a sewage pipe before going to the GWS. I don't know if any still remain at Dawlish though.

RJS1977 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 all that I saw were completly round no slot in them I believe the pipes were used with the slot underneath! (There's a picture of one in the 1984 Constructor Annual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
