I’m going through some family photos dating back years. Can anyone identify this beach and this town in the UK ?

First one looks like Saltburn-by-the-Sea looking towards Huntcliffe, the second one is Boston, Lincolnshire.

Thanks Griffin ! I thought the beach would be somewhere in Yorkshire but I didn’t recognise the cliff. And the second… I guess the photo is possibly taken from the top of Boston Stump.

I instantly knew that beach wasn’t the one at Southport…

Hmm, Southport. I remember going there for the day and having to avoid all the jellyfish washed up on the beach and the roads nearby.

Or Great Yarmouth or this part of Scotland !

Yes Peter, it’s a disgrace. By chance, I happen to have just watched the videos from The Ocean Cleanup project. They’re currently working on removing plastic in the largest of the ocean garbage patches, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The amount they are getting out is shocking.
