Described in deeds dated 1709 - 1803 as a seaside hut used as a public house. On Tuesday 23rd November 1824 a large laden brig sprung a leak and was
compelled to cut from her anchor and head for the beach. She took to the
ground near the Royal Barracks, about 200 yards from the shore, on the ebb
tide. Strong winds and heavy seas threatened to engulf the vessel. The whole
crew of eleven were successively rescued in perfect safety. Mr. Denny, of
the Marine Tavern, near the jetty, was particularly conspicuous and
foremost in danger, wading the water to breast high, to catch the
individuals as they came ashore. Address as Beach in 1830. North Beach 1836 & 1845 Conveyed 23rd August 1845 by Samuel Paget & Others to George Morse, Timothy Steward, Peter Finch and Henry Staniforth Patteson. (Licence) Became the ROYAL STANDARD according to Steward & Patteson records. |
