1962: The People Who Live on Spurn Point

“Oh yes, there are actually people who live on this wind-blasted strip of shingle, all the time.”

Julian Pettifer reports from Spurn Point – a narrow, curving sand spit stretching for three and a half miles across the Humber Estuary – on the way of life for the few, hardy souls who permanently live there.

Clip taken from Tonight, originally broadcast on BBC Television, 26 February, 1962.
