Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, positioned in the Southeast of England, and how, despite being constantly under attack from the elements, the inhabitants have battled and overcome the sea's encroachment for centuries. Coast-dwellers throughout the region have fought, both to protect their homes from the sea's destruction and their very land from being washed away. Along this coastline, there are miles where even today, with modern technology, the exact spot where the land ends and the sea begins is unknown. Many towns and villages have been lost to the sea over time, including churches, homes, and other buildings. Despite this, the author shares the history of these lost settlements and explores the many towns and villages that have survived to this day. In the process, the author examines the lives of many colorful characters, recounts thrilling rescue missions, and reveals how this coastal area became a haven for smugglers and their illicit activities.
