When we go on holiday to the coast, we tend to overlook the stories of the people who live and work there. Natasha Carthew grew up in a working class community in Cornwall and has travelled around the UK's coast to discover the hidden world of the modern seaside.
Plodcast host Fergus Collins meets Natasha for a wander around Bristol Harbour to hear some of these sad, beautiful and sometimes tragic stories.
Natasha's book, Rough Edges: Where Land Meets Water, the Untold Stories of Coastline Communities, is published by Sceptre

As you crest a little riverside cliff, the air is filled with clicks, trills and buzzes. Squadrons of sand martins career wildly around you from their colony – a series of burrows dug into the sandy cliff face. The air is alive with aerobatic birds, including the first broods of this year's youngsters who are revelling in flight for the first time.
