Shoreham 1952 and 2012.
After our time at the airport at Shoreham, we parked the car on the beach side of the River Adur (Ay-der).
The tide was very low.
Just as it had been 60 years ago when my Father took some Shoreham photographs.
Just like then a vast expanse of mudbank was exposed at low tide.
We walked out to the river edge along a solid path and took our photos from there.
Sixty years an on - and not so very different.
We walked over the footbridge to the town.
It was very windy!
Very soon construction will begin on a new footbridge - very modern and glass sided.
This picture is from another blog that I found.

My picture, looking under the footbridge to the stranded low tide boats.
Dad also photographed the old boats at low tide.
Bill looked for interesting details.
The sign marks where telegraph cables were laid on the river bed.
He found a poppy amongst the rye grass on the river bank.
There were poppies outside the church.
The tide was very low.
