Strange Looking Object on the Beach!
A recurring object revealed by the tides on Holme beach turns out to be part of a trial Beach Dewatering Scheme. The explanation belongs with the photographs as a feature story.

From time to time, and largely dependent on the winds and tides, this large object is revealed on the beach immediately adjacent to the pedestrian access to the sand from the main coastal footpath.
In February 2021 it appeared once again. The explanation is historical: it was part of a trial Beach Dewatering Scheme built in February 1997.
The photographs from the installation belong with the story, so this sits naturally as a short article rather than a conventional gallery.
