Description
Estuary
Out from London to the Sea
By Rachel Lichtenstein
Out at the eastern edge of England, between land and ocean, you will find beautiful, haunted salt marshes, coastal shallows and wide-open skies: the Thames Estuary. The estuary is an ancient gateway to England, a passage for travellers and merchants in and out of London. For generations, the people of Kent and Essex have lived and worked on the Estuary, learning its waters, losing loved ones to its deeps. Their heritage is a proud but never an easy one. The author spent five years exploring this unique community and recording its extraordinary chorus of voices, present and past. From mud larkers and fishermen to radio pirates and unexploded bombs, Estuary is a celebration of a haunting and unique area of the British Isles.
With over 40 black & white illustrations.
