1900. The shot is taken at high tide.

This is the point where the Keuper Sandstone breaks the surface. The wooded cliffs around Dingle Point are in the foreground, left, further back and right is the entrance to Knott's Hole, the point at which the Dingle Brook entered the Mersey.

This is now all buried under the former Garden Festival site although tipping started in the early 1900s.

1984
