The lost village of Hallsands

The lost village of Hallsands
The old road to the village: now forbidden!
On a stormy night in January 1917, the Devon fishing village of Hallsands collapsed into the sea. The entire village was destroyed together with the livelihoods of its people. For decades the fishing village of Hallsands and its stunning coastline had been at the mercy of the forces of nature and on this dreadful night, all was finished.
Notice Start Point lighthouse in the distance.

Hi Herb.
The serene beauty of this coastline on a bright day immediately fascinated me.
Of course, the terrible story behind it has once again reminded me how human greed so careless of the consequences could and continues to unleash.
And it's right to tell them and remember them.
Best wishes and a very nice weekend.

You did well to get here Toz- I don't think that has been achieved by many from up here in't North.

Thanks Peter, yes nature was the final destroyer here but sadly, instigated by man.

Thanks for this Sarah, and spoken from the heart. As today's news reaches us about the latest hurricane to hit the Bahamas and US coast, sadly what you say is quite true.

Thanks for this Bea. yes, the story should and does prevail and even man's greed towards others is remembered here too. There are sadly all too many places in the World that have similar stories.

Have a great week, Herb
