The sea defence work in Millport is now (September 2024) coming to an end. That work necessitated the removal of most of the freestanding benches along the sea front, to be replaced with a (near) contiguous wall that reaches from Marine Parade all the way to the Quay.

Most of those free standing benches had plaques on them, and the purpose of this website, and related social media sites was to document the benches, their plaques and their location before they were moved or removed. That was mostly achieved, although some benches were moved before I could photograph them.

Although this website isn't going to be updated, there will still be daily posts of benches on Facebook and Instagram for the foreseeable future (because they are automated) . The website itself will also stick around in its current state for "a while".

Thanks to all the people who have engaged with the project, it's been a lot of fun, but all things have a time and a place, and now is the time to draw a line.

If you have questions about the benches and plaques that were removed, and their current location, then please contact North Ayrshire Council.
