  • S4 Ep19: The Kessingland Tragedy

    S4 Ep19: The Kessingland Tragedy
    Sep 15 2022
    A terrific storm blew suddenly out of the north-east at the end of November 1774, wrecking many ships and claiming many lives up and down the east coast. The crew and passengers of the Ann, sailing from London to Dunbar, were lucky - they made it ashore and the vessel remained in one piece. The storm, however, wasn't quite finished them.

  • S4 Ep18: Mutoscopes on the Lanes of Sodom

    S4 Ep18: Mutoscopes on the Lanes of Sodom
    Sep 8 2022
    As well as a curious pliable hinterland between land and sea, the beach has always been a place where the boundaries of conventional morality blur. Not least with the innovation and introduction to piers and promenades at the end of the 19th century of the Mutoscope. Lower yourself to the level of What The Butler Saw in this week's Coastal Stories.
