Many of the #shipwrecks on the coast of North #Cornwall were the product of #gales barreling up the Bristol Channel. The #wind would start as a southerly then veer north west, trapping ships on 'The Ironbound Coast'. The New Pier at #StIves fared no better. washhousepress.com/blog_New_Pie...

Given to me in 1978 | I read it first in 2024 | My favourite book, what took me so long? | The Life of the Fields by Richard Jefferies. I then discovered that the book had influenced the minimalist Bob Law whose Whitechapel show I helped hang - you guessed it, in 1978.
