What is recorded here
Watch tower adjacent to harbour wall - Porthcawl is a castle, fort or tower in Bridgend, Wales. Perhaps it watched for ships or smugglers, but maybe it only watched the sea because the sea never stops moving. Imagine a keeper sitting inside with tea and a book, not fighting anyone, only keeping company with the water.
