Seaton Sluice Sunset
In 1660, the year he was knighted by Charles II. Sir Ralph Delaval commenced the building of a stone pier to create a man-made harbour, Hartley Haven; ten years later he received a royal grant to carry out further improvements. Then in 1690 Sir Ralph had sluice gates built which closed with the incoming tide. At low water the gates were re-opened and the surge of water flushed the harbour clean. Thanks to this ingenious engineering solution, the little port became known as Seaton Sluice.
All of my photographs are printed on Fuji DP Professional paper to ensure fantastic quality and longevity and mounted in a cream mount. All framed photographs collected in person will be supplied with glass, all posted frames will be supplied with perspex.
