Prom Blocked                            Picnic Table                         Corton Defences                Before the Storm (2001)

Part of the cliff at Corton has slipped and is blocking the prom between Tibbenhams Score and the south end of the seawall.  Signs and barriers have being erected  to stop people  walking south from Tibbenhams Score and north from below Cliff House.  There will also be a sign at Tramps Alley to let people know the seawall will be closed to the north, but the beach from Tramps Alley to Cliff house including the Naturist beach will be open.

Picnic Table

Thanks are given to the parishioners and businesses in Corton who donated money for the purchase and maintenance of a new picnic table on the overlook at Bakers Score.  Special thanks must be given to Mr Harry Blowers (below) who organised the collection and to Waveney District Council for arranging the installation.
