Peter Bruff and Bruff’s Breakwater at Landguard

Peter Bruff, aka the East Anglian Brunel, was the Civil Engineer who built the Breakwater at Landguard Point built to keep the harbour open to the requirements of Captain John Washington.

The visible part is probably a structure added in the early to mid-twentieth century related to the flying boat station. (Fuel?)
