Sad to think your home is now under a dual carriageway . . . .!
Nice shot - he looks so ungainly, yet concentrating so intently.

~ Poppy   Mary Hopkin special - and they were the days. Gathering seacoal is backbreaking work. My mam often tells me about going down to the beach with the pram - before I was born - with my brother in it and filling bags of seacoal while my dad was out working at Grays trying to keep body and soul together. Thanks for the memories.

~ KathGordon   hey nice shot and description mate , that beach is so black with seacoal (or sea dust more like) didn't know you were from west thought u were a cod head like me.

~ Tone   He looks too old to be grafting too hard like that!!

~ martrex   I had to look up exactly what sea coal was. Learn something new everyday. He does look a little old for that kind of work, but bet it keeps him in shape.
