All on its tod

This bridge is a remnant of the railway which carried granite to a stone cutting yard
A storm harbour of refuge was needed on the east coast so a prison was built from the 1880s onwards to supply the labour - convicts quarried the stone at one end of the two mile railway and others cut it near the site if the breakwaters.
And now this bit if history sits in what looks as if it will soon be a building site.
