| One of the uncertainties at present is exactly where the cables came ashore as it is described in local books as variously directly in front of the company offices and directly in front of the "Grand Atlantic" hotel which is reported to have been named for the cable. Both statements cannot be true but in front of the Grand Atlantic there is this building on the sea front with a possibly suggestive logo? |  |

Close up: I have no actual evidence for this connection though and it is more likely that the connection is simply one of contemporaneity - the cables were a local development of which Weston was proud at the time. (And I now think the cables were probably a few hundred yards west of this location.) |

| (Spring 2003) Chris Richards at the museum has pointed out these devices on an art deco building not far from the front - again evocative of the cable ? |  |
| The Grand Pier Opening. There were already 2 cables, landing nearby, when this opened in 1904. |  |
