Aerial photographs
An aerial photograph taken by the RAF in 1946 shows a row of concrete blocks running parallel to the Esplanade on a piece of land between the Grand Hotel and a house called "The Willows". The land formed part of the garden of Kelvin Lodge, No.12 Fourth Avenue. This piece of land is now occupied by an extension to the Grand Hotel. "The Willows" no longer exists - "Garden Court" now stands in this position. <2>
Mar 2010: A low-level oblique photograph taken c.1946/1947 shows these blocks very clearly. <3>
