There is often confusion around the quay and the outfall jetty at clock tower as both are refered to as "the quay" - not easy when we are tasked to "the quay"....which one?
A quay is " a platform in a harbour for loading and unloading a ship" according to my dictionary.
Well there's an issue, Swanage doesn't really have a harbour and I would like to see a ship a long side the quay (it only has a couple of feet of water).
The old stone quay - this is near the pier and does from time to time have a boat along side it
The outfall jetty - or known as the banjo jetty locally is by the clock tower and covers the outfall pipe for the flood scheme. (it also known as another name however this is a family blog and I not printing that term here)
Well today there I was sat at the beach hut, and suddenly on the "banjo" jetty a chap got down on one knee and proposed to his girl friend.....well that's what I think happened?
Nice that he chose Swanage to do that.
