Men gathering shrimps in Morecambe Bay
With the summer holidays upon us many of us will be jetting off to foreign places and perhaps enjoying some seafood. This picture reminds us of the produce traditionally taken from Morecambe Bay, and that hard work it took to get it. These men are using haaf net to gather shrimps in the shallow bay waters.
