Description
The South Groyne was built between 1861 and 1867, as indicated by two plans made by the Tyne Improvement Commissioners around 1882. The original groyne is depicted on the 1867 plan as a straight line. By 1883, the Commissioners were shaping the southern wave trap at its western end, resulting in its current cranked form. These modifications occurred during the construction of the South Pier, which took place from 1854 to 1895. The outer faces of the groyne are made of large, roughly dressed stone, while the upper surface consists of a mix of concrete slabs and asphalt.
