Summary of results

Inside the underground vault

This brick vaulted structure lies immediately below the road known as Blands Cliff from where it is accessed by a manhole. It is a brick barrel vault with several side passages. The examination of it was confined to photography and sketch drawing due to the difficult conditions. It is thought the structure is part of the 19th century seawater baths which was the original use of the amusement arcade now known as Coney Island.
