Rubble

In 1942 Liverpool had suffered heavy bombing and large amounts of material from both housing and docks had to be cleared up quickly. It was decided to take the rubble to Crosby where it was tipped along the beach as coastal protection. Subsequently more tipping has taken place to form a brick beach of well over a mile in length. This is a fascinating place to wander about with plenty of opportunity to find the products of long forgotten brickworks across north-west England and north Wales.
