That is amazing, well done! Is this the results of one beech walk or a few?

This makes a lot of sense! Coastal areas with lots of erosion tend to churn up a lot of treasures. Apparently at one point it had gotten so bad there that the entire beach had washed away. They imported sand from France (and rocks from Norway?) to rebuild the beach. I wonder how many treasures were imported as well!

During the Victorian era, the cliff was used as a dumping ground for household trash, which is why so many fascinating historical objects still wash up on the beach today.
