most notably created a seawall at Binnel Bay. The seawall was substantial and designed to allow tourists to reach St Lawrence by sea. However, due to the geological instability of the Undercliff landslide complex at Binnel Bay it had poor foundations, being largely built on active and landslipped sections of Gault Clay. It fell into disrepair and was destroyed through a combination of landsliding and severe winter storms and swells. The failed harbour was dubbed Spindler's Folly, and the remains can be seen broken up and scattered around the bay today. References Bays of the Isle of Wight
