Remains of Old Buoy, Cattersty Sands This was washed up in the 1950s complete with brass bell which quickly disappeared. Sometime later several WW2 mines were washed up and the Royal Navy were called in to destroy them. Apparently according to local legend the RN had some explosives left which were "out of date" so used them up on the buoy.
