Lifeguard Hut 2016 ID: SX1517172456
Description

Lifeguard Hut being lowered into position from Mounts Road, onto Blue Buoy Steps above the beach 23 June 2016.


The lorry delivering this lifeguard apparatus has to reverse all the way down Shrubberies Hill requiring great skill and stamina from the driver. At the end of the season the process has to be reversed as the weather is too severe to leave the unit in position throughout the winter storms.
