Storm Damage to the Heugh Breakwater
Created by Mr. John Brooker
Donated by Mr. John BrookerThe Heugh Breakwater, Headland Hartlepool, was damaged during a severe storm. A large chunk of concrete from the upper level became detached, was pushed across lower level, and lodged in the wire railings. A further chunk was also loose and in danger of collapsing onto walkway. Tees & Hartlepool Port Authority Maintenance personnel, Mr. Eddie Porrit (Asst. Foreman) Ian Ogle (Crane driver), Alec Simpson (Health and Safety) and Sergeant Brooker Harbour Police (taking the photograph), eventually made it safe.
