- Photo title: Hallsands, South Devon: Tale of a Village Lost to the Sea
- Author: IanBushwacker
- Cover photo description:
- The haunting tale of the lost village of Hallsands remains a sorrowful chapter in South Devon’s maritime history. Once a thriving fishing community, it was the easterly gales and pounding swells that came with the high January tides of 1917 that finally brought ruin to the seaside cottages perched on the Start Bay shoreline.Four cottages had been devoured by midnight and a further 29 homes would perish one-by-one the following day. Miraculously, all the residents of Hallsands managed to scramble up the cliffs to safety during a hush at low tide. However, by dusk, old Hallsands had been lost forever.
