Open Country: Shivering Sands

Series 592, episode 9

Martha Kearney visits Whitstable to discover the fascinating history of the Shivering Sands sea forts off the Kent coast, which were used as coastal defence in the Second World War and as pirate radio stations in the 1960s. Today, the forts lie empty and are slowly being lost to the sea, but they remain a source of inspiration to artists and photographers
