BRIXHAM
SX9256SE BRIXHAM HARBOUR, Lower Brixham
1946-1/11/136 (South East side)
Retaining wall on south-east side of
Southern Quay
GV II
Retaining wall buttressing the north-west side of King Street,
which runs along the cliff edge overlooking the harbour.
Probably C19, the north-east section later than the rest.
Devon limestone rubble with some red sandstone. The wall rises
to a considerable height and is the dominant feature on the
south-east side of the harbour. The later section to
north-east has at its right-hand end 3 full-height buttresses.
Both sections rise uninterruptedly to form a parapet wall
along King Street. This has a chamfered coping of stones on
edge along the older section; similar cement coping beyond.
The retaining wall stops well short of the north-east end of
the harbour and is replaced by the natural Devonian limestone
rock-face.
