Damaged sea defences

What we know about this image :

Damaged sea defences along Seaton Carew Promenade. Note the sea coal wagon, being towed by horses, in the background.

In January and again in September of 1905 abnormally high tides caused damage for about 200 yards of the retaining wall and sea banks from West Hartlepool to Seaton Carew. March 12th 1906 another high tide and heavy sea submerged the wall and undid all the repairs that had been carried out and caused further damage.
