Piles were then driven in front of the wall, but as the denudation still continued, groynes 70 to 100 yards in length were placed along the beach of a similar character to those then in use at Brighton. Those first placed were fixed at an angle of 45 degrees, but as this was not found to be satis- factory, they were afterwards placed at right angles. Subsequently the sea-wall was extended westward along the Medina for a length of about the third of a mile. In 1899 leave was obtained by Hove fro...m the Local Government Board for a loan, amounting to £17,000, for the purchase of land and fore- shore and the extension of the sea-wall. About four or five years ago a concrete wall was constructed on the Brighton frontage to the east of Hove, in front of the Brunswick Lawns, extending from the Hove wall to the concrete groyne to the east of the west pier, being about a quarter of a mile in length. This wall was constructed of concrete faced with flints, and was 20 feet high, 12 feet wide at the base, and 3 feet at the top ; and at the time of its construction the top was 8 feet above the beach.
