HOVE SEAFRONT IN WARTIME

Two more photographs of the mined and wired off promenade, complete with concrete tank obstacles, though whether these would have had much effect is now doubtful. The photographs are, of course, of different parts of the Front. This view, showing the backs of the houses in Courtney Terrace, also shows a Bofors Gun beneath its protective covering. Note the empty block of houses in Medina Terrace, with all occupants evacuated.
