We used to buy seacoal ... it didn't half give out some smoke. No wonder we all had TB.

"In West Hartlepool, Cleveland, we see men and children gathering coal that has been washed up onto the seashore. The men gather the coal up with rakes and pile it into sacks and buckets. One man puts two sacks on his bicycle and wheels it off up to the sea front. (Could be used for poverty & unemployment)."

Superb sea coal action and look at that Samson wobble after the first brick gets hammered. Thank you Mr Smythe.
