EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilient spirit of the community at Torcross, Devon, as they work together to protect their homes and land from the relentless advance of the sea in the 1980s. The coastal village, located in the beautiful but exposed south Devon area, has long been battling the elements, with the constant threat of erosion and storm surges. In this image, we see a group of dedicated individuals working tirelessly to build up the sea defences, using large boulders and rocks to create a barrier against the crashing waves. The scene is set against a backdrop of picturesque houses and buildings, some of which are already showing signs of damage from the sea. A ford can be seen in the foreground, adding to the sense of the village's vulnerability. The workers are using various pieces of equipment, including a powerful digger, to move the heavy stones into place. The water is choppy and turbulent, reflecting the raw power of the sea. Despite the challenging conditions, the community at Torcross remains determined to defend their land and homes. The sea defences are a vital part of their daily life, and this photo offers a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle to live in harmony with the natural forces of the coast. This image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Devon, and the importance of community spirit in the face of adversity.
