The Estuary
Sir, —Mr Scott replies that the reason for building the barrage from Beachville road to the New Brighton spit in preference to Shag Rock was to avoid coastal drift and higher costs because of more exposure to the waves at high tide. As it is intended to make a model of Mr Scott’s scheme it would be interesting to make a model of both sites suggested to see which is the better.—Yours. S. W HICKMOTT. June 7. 1963
What is the virtue and service of a book? Only to help me live less gingerly and shabbily.—Christopher Morley.
