Scratby village sign, repainted Scratby and California share a sign featuring a lifebelt, the Royal Albert lifeboat, an oar and some ruins with a glazed window, probably representing Scratby church which was demolished in 1548. On the right is what I believe to be a lifeboat shed and perhaps a beacon.

View north on deserted beach The coastline at Winterton is historically known to be one of the most hazardous parts of the British coastline. On visiting Winterton-on-Sea in 1722, Daniel Defoe commented that all the houses of the village were constructed from the timbers of wrecked ships. In order to stabilise the coastline against erosion marram grass was planted and by the early 19th century dunes had built up, forming a barrier between the high water mark and the ridge on which the lighthouse stands. During the second half of the 20th century the coastline has again changed in that some of the dunes eroded. The area is mostly situated at approximately sea level and erosion and flooding are constant potential risks to the village.
