Firestone Bay sea wall, Royal William Victualling Yard
01.05.1975
GV II
Sea wall. 1827, by Sir J Rennie Jnr, for the Victualling Board. Limestone rubble and ashlar.
Concave in plan and section. Long sea wall protecting SE side of the Yard, with a torus moulding beneath a shouldered coping to the parapet. In the centre is a segmental-arched entrance cut into the curve of the wall, formerly to a tunnel through the Rear Retaining Wall (qv) into the Yard, now blocked.
HISTORY: the wall was built partly to absorb surplus material from the Yard excavation, and to provide an alternative sea entrance. With its Cyclopean masonry, the wall forms an impressive southern perimeter to one of the finest and most complete early C19 industrial complexes in the country.
