Stone sea-wall of mediaeval origin; Cobb shown in C16 sketch. Before end of
C18, wall was dry-built; a small section of this kind of walling remains in the
east face of the Victoria Pier. Complete rebuilding took place between 1783
and 1829 especially after the great gales of 1824, which destroyed a great part
of the walls. Victoria Pier added between 1842 and 1852. North Wall constructed
in 1849 (see RCHM Dorset, Vol I).
