Seaton Carew near Hartlepool, UK. 22nd Aug, 2014. Weather: Seacoalers on Seaton Carew beach just after sunrise. Once a common site along the north east coast prior to the mines closing, only a handful of Seacoalers now work the beaches of Seaton and Hartlepool. Washed up sea coal from old mine seams is loaded onto a pick up truck to be later cleaned and sold on to power stations. Credit: ALANDAWSONPHOTOGRAPHY/Alamy Live News
