Following a Facebook campaign a group of people from around St Austell got together on March 27th, 2013 to march to the Beach with one specific aim in mind - to attempt to persuade the owners of the Beach to clear up the appalling mess currently on view. The pictures below are a record of what was on view!
AVERT YOUR EYES WHERE IT OFFENDS YOU!
The gathering began under the oak tree at 11am
and eventually marched down the hill
...only to find the welcome wasn't all that would have been desired.
It's hard to remember that this was a venue for some of the best stage shows in the world. It was a place of entertainment with queues stretching around the buildings to buy tickets.
These images give some idea about what has aroused the ire of so many people. Enough to bring many to the Beach on a bitterly cold day to show their feelings. Do keep an eye on this web-site to find out how you can help. We cannot let this mess stay here for the foreseeable future!
But there is a grain of hope. Perhaps the owners of the Beach are listening to the voices of the populace. If you look carefully at our final picture, you might spot what looks like the first bit of cleaning gear brought down to the old buildings.
Yes, we know it's only one vacuum cleaner but it's a start, isn't it? From these small beginnings...
And another Facebook campaign is calling for Carlyon Bay to be restored to its former glory or something similar. Many would agree with that!
