Substantial walling on land side of present bridge photographed in advance of pipe laying and construction of sewage pumping station on a beach close to present bridge over Kelly. Boulder pile(s) found on beachside riverbank are result of 'clearance' for hovercraft trials in the 1960s. Speculated remains of old quay to be found in area.
