This collection of black-and-white photographs by Peter Burton and Harland Walshaw, accompanied by text by novelist Jane Gardam, celebrates the Iron Coast, a wild and little-known stretch of Yorkshire coastline between the River Tees and the ruined cliff-top abbey of Whitby, where Captain Cook grew up and Laurence Sterne wrote parts of "Tristram Shandy", whose fine sands were the setting for Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and whose landscape is now dominated by steel-works and the huge ICI chemical plant.
