Track the changes to our seaside and compare the past and present with postcards from the past.
People from the sea
The oceans which surround us define us in more ways than just by providing a natural boundary, but what does it mean to be the island race?

It's getting easier to explore life underwater - but what can you hear in the oceans? In Sounds of Life, Aubrey Manning discovered the Underwater Chorus.

Whitby is also well known for its Jet jewellery; at its most fashionable during Queen Victoria’s period of mourning, and still on sale in many shops.
