Braye Harbour
and Breakwater and Breakwater
The Government Works in 1851 from Louisa Lane Clarke's 'Alderney Guide' Construction began in 1847, the intention had been to enclose Braye Bay with two arms. By 1851, the breakwater was beginning to take shape. The works eventually stopped in 1872 and Jackson and Bean moved to Jersey, taking most of their labour force with them.
