Survivors of Sole Bay

Anglia TV report on the ways of the fishermen at Dunwich in Suffolk, who keep a good weather-eye out for the right conditions to fish.

Dunwich, once a town with a thriving community, is now a small village. However, the ways of the fishermen have remained the same for hundreds of years. David Richardson for Anglia TV joins the Dunwich boys for a day of fishing, providing the conditions are right, for the weather can be unpredictable. The work is hard, and doesn’t end once the boat returns to shore, but this way of life seems to have its attractions. At Lowestoft harbour market the fishermen sell their catch.

This Anglia TV programme was originally broadcast within the "About Britain" time slot, and was later transmitted as a "Country Living" programme in 1985.
