Summary
| Description |
English: Hedbury Quarry The seaward side of the east part of the disused Portland Stone quarry, with old spoil heaps on the left and the top of the short sea cliff on the right. The cannon in the middle of the photo may have come from the disastrous wreck of the Halsewell (in 1786), but it may also have come from a coastal battery. It was once lying amongst the spoil at the quarry, but is now mounted facing seawards on a stone plinth. The Halsewell was wrecked on its way to India on the nearby Halsewell Bars with the loss of 166 lives - either the two identical names are an incredible coincidence, or the rocks between Seacombe and Winspit were named after the ship that they wrecked. |
