The remains of the old Lifeboat House are visible on aerial photographs from the 1940s at TG 1417 4348 (S1). Although this structure was not mapped the site is adequately recorded on relatively recent maps. During World War Two the Lifeboat House remains were incorporated into the defences and training activities (NHER 28622).
