An historian takes a fascinating look at eight places which have disappeared, whether abandoned, destroyed, or fallen into the sea. Their well researched and evoked stories, what they were like and what survives, vary, but from, St Kilda to Winchelsea via Wharram Percy and the lesser known Stanford or Trellech, each fascinatingly illuminates a part of our history. Coastal erosion is still actively at work as are impersonal economic forces and climate change. The past lives on.
