An impressive staircase…

… in an impressive building on the seafront. It was built in 1911 so the bannisters are very much of the right time. 
I believe it is the first building over here to be built on a raft of concrete. Where it stands used to be the beach.
This is where I worked when I first left school; back before we had dial phones in town. Pick up the receiver and wait for the operator to ask “Number please?”.
It is now the Tourist Information Centre.
