Maidens harbour reborn
An amazing story at Maidens harbour. Tired of neglect, the local community have bought the harbour for £100, raised funds, bought second-hand dredging equipment and set out to dredge the harbour using volunteer labour. This picture was taken at about half tide and already the results are showing. The dredging barge may be seen to the right. Pontoons to follow.
