This photograph may show an area of "old salt works" but the operation shown in the series of photographs is land reclamation using dredged sand/silt that is being pumped into an area surrounded by an earthen wall or bund. When the area was full, and the water drained away, building could take place on an area that was originally saltmarsh and regularly flooded on high tides. |
