 | | By late afternoon, a crowd of local residents had assembled along the Coast Road from Marsden Grotto to Souter Point and at 4.00 pm, the small stack, which had for so many years formed the southern support of the famous arch, was brought crashing down into the North Sea. |
| | Marsden Rock is an imposing 100-foot sea stack of magnesium limestone lying approximately 100 yards off the main land of South Shields. |
| | In 1997, following the relentless battering of the North Sea, experts inspected the smaller stack to the south of the main rock and declared that it was so unstable, that it presented a danger of collapsing onto the shore. |
