The Rock Point Castle was located among the trees at the top of the quarry (Happy Valley) within the Tower Grounds, New Brighton. It is pictured here about 1912.

Good find there Upton - that is certainly a rare view, that right hand tower looks like its suspended on nothing!

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
