The Beach at Lynemouth I found this most depressing.  This is a beach in Northumberland, a county famed for its clean and beautiful golden sands.  This has been used as an unofficial landfill site, with, I suspect toxic waste mixed in.  The council needs to seriously get a grip on this!

Rubbish on Lynemouth Bay Looking south towards the Alcan Power Station, this stretch of coast is a disgrace.  The black sands from coal operations from the past can be forgiven, but the vast amount of rubbish cannot.
