Fort Cumberland sea wall, Eastney, Portsmouth, Hampshire

A close view of the sea wall looking up from the beach at the corner where it turns from north-west to east near the east end of Fort Cumberland, Eastney, Portsmouth. The slab-sided, flat-topped concrete wall on top of the sea wall is in relatively good condition as opposed to the main slope which is heavily eroded. In the foreground are temporary steel structures which may be intended for strengthening the sea wall or for anti-invasion beach defences.
