Villages by the Sea
Sunderland Point
Season 1 Episode 1
Archaeologist Ben Robinson examines the history of the Lancashire village Sunderland Point, which is cut off twice a day by the tide and has become a haven for wildlife. He reveals it was once a busy port that was instrumental in the slave trade, and at the forefront of the luxury goods business that transformed 18th-century Britain.
Villages by the Sea airs on U&Eden at 5:35 AM, Thursday 13 November. (Subtitles.)
