Today I thought I’d let you have a look at some of the photos used in my forthcoming book – Close to the Edge – Tales from the Holderness Coast.
For those of you who don’t know the area (or even the country – UK that is) the Holderness Coast is a strip of East Yorkshire coastline that has both a remarkable past and an uncertain future. The problem is coastal erosion which has seen more than 30 villages and settlements disappear or “gone back to the sea” and the erosion continues today.
Close to the Edge is an eclectic and sometimes irreverent collection of tales about people, places and events along the coastline.
Have a peek at some of the photos taken by my co-conspirator in this enterprise – June Berridge.
