Skinningrove Bay

A fine view of the bay and jetty, sometime in the 1960s. Norman Patton tells us: ”My instincts tell me that this photograph was perhaps taken in the 1950s.  I am sure that the “promenade” was built of large blocks and for a while we had a comfortable walkway until soon afterwards when the sea destroyed the hard work.  A youngster was washed into the sea and drowned whilst clambering on the fallen blocks.  If my assumptions are correct,  that tragedy would have occurred around 1957?” Can anybody assist further with this detail?
