Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Cannon, Hedbury Quarry The cannon in the foreground 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. Spoil heaps and a worked quarry face are visible in the background. The coast path follows the top of the quarry face. |
