Me too! I was there.

In Situ of Battle, which was on the site on Tuesday morning.
The firm, based in Vale Road, took advantage of the low spring tide to carry out crucial core sample work underneath the pier.
David Spooner, project manager, said: “In Situ was on the beach with their kit do to some core samples, so we can work out how sturdy the ground is where the Heritage Centre is going.
“They force a pipe down into the ground and keep forcing until it hits something hard, which is hopefully a rock.
“It’s so we know we can go 35ft down when we put our foundations in.”
He added: “It’s just a small part, but a very crucial part.
“Without that we would be guessing as to what’s there.”
