Dangerous sands


These two illustrations demonstrate what a dangerous place the Wash could be. What with unexploded WWII bombs and the combined efforts of both the RAF and USAF, who use the Wash as a bombing and target range. The clink of rake on bomb casing was not unfamiliar to the Northend fishermen scratching for cockles and the odd strafing kept them on their toes.
