A wonderful hand drawn document, which I bought ( a copy ) from the Chester Records Office.. The only walls shown adjacent to the beach are at the end of Kings Gap and Beach Road. The 1899 OS map is more or less the same. However it was surveyed in 1897, perhaps before the work started as per the plaque. Of course they may have just not shown most of the wall. Many thanks for pointing out the plaque and the photo by Ian Davies. John
