Searching for Shellfish
Image by Museum of Hartlepool
Image of a group of women, probably fish women, crossing the mud as they gather shellfish on Seaton Carew beach, as according to the historian Sir Cuthbert Sharp, such women would ''procure the mussels from the scalps'' (the mudbanks which were the mussels' natural habitat), in addition to carring and baiting the fishing lines and searching for sand eels when they were in season, sometimes walking as far as the mouth of the River Tees to do so.
