Selsey Bill

Dog Friendly Beach in Selsey, West Sussex

A benign spell of weather made this a bright morning at Selsey Bill, with the inshore boats bringing whelks, crab and lobster ashore as I arrived.

I asked a retired fisherman, Norman James Woodland, what the beach means to him.



Before the interview, he told me traceable generations of his family had been fishing at Selsey Bill for 932 years, an unbroken chain that other families can also claim.

It was therefore a great pleasure to hear his recollections of time spent aboard and on land with his father.
