The explosion at Seaford, Sussex in 1850, which was organised in order to blast away a huge mass of chalk cliff to create a large rock groyne and prevent pebbles from being transported from the Seaford Beach towards Beachy Head.

The explosion took place successfully, but the chalk was blasted into very small fragments which, rather than retaining shingle at Seaford beach, merely accelerated the eastwards flow of sediment it was intended to prevent.
