Coastal & Port History Books

Britain's coastline and harbours have shaped the communities around them for centuries. This collection covers the history of ports, piers, fishing communities and coastal life, with titles ranging from broad surveys like Coastal Britain and Coastal Scotland to local studies of individual harbours and stretches of shoreline.

You will find books on fishing heritage, harbour architecture, seaside culture and the folk tales that grow up around coastal places. If you are interested in how the sea has shaped the land and the people who live beside it, this is a good place to browse.
