An early afternoon high tide together with gale force winds combined to bring the sea right up to promenade level at Crosby yesterday. I have been down at the beach on many stormy days but this is the first time I have seen the sea so high in the area close to the Leisure Centre. The spray was whipping across the promenade making it impossible to take more than one photograph without the lens being coated with salt water and misting up very quickly. The wind had swung round to the north west and was bitterly cold, whipping straight down the promenade; this together with the blinding spray made it difficult to hold the camera steady and frame shots but I present these few images which give a flavour of the day. I am constantly amazed that the iron men on the beach stay so upright given the pounding they receive from the waves.
