Coast & Beyond is a beautifully illustrated, in-depth companion to BBC TWOs BAFTA-winning series Coast. It tells the fascinating stories of our own magnificent coastline &, for the first time, goes further afield to explore those of our neighbours, too. Steve Evanson, the producer of the television series, is our guide to great coastal landmarks, such as Blackpools Tower & Illuminations, St Michaels Mount in Cornwall & the enormous Great Laxey Water Wheel on the Isle of Man. He also investigates local stories & events, including Brightons little-known silent-movie industry, the mysterious collapse of the Tay Bridge in 1879 & Spike Island
- the Irish Alcatraz. Whats more, this book looks beyond the shores of the British Isles towards the coastlines of northwest Europe & northern France, which are inextricably tied to our own through trade, war, culture & geology. How can the crumbling white cliffs of Normandy help us to understand the erosion of our own chalk walls? What do Norwegian fiords & Scottish lochs have in common? & what impact did the Vikings have on the British coast? Coast & Beyond provides a wealth of information about the landscape, history & geography of our coastal regions, as well as maps & practical information for visitors, so that you, too, can discover the secrets of our coast... & beyond.
