BACK IN BUSINESS - LINCOLNSHIRE'S MOST ECCENTRIC BEACH LANDMARK

Reconstructed - the plankcamp on Cleethorpes outer beach

LESS than a week after it was destroyed by high tides, a novel Cleethorpes  landmark has been rebuilt.

The 'people's bench' (also known as the 'plankcamp')  is now located 50 metres north of its previous site because that is where most of the timber was deposited by the inrushing waves.

Because it is on the outer beach, few people venture out to this eccentric 'folly'. 

However,  it is conspicuous both from passing ships and from the marine footpath running between the leisure centre and Humberston Fitties.

When the flag is flying, it means the Queen is in residence. 😀
