Anita Rani: Britain By Beach on SBS – Anita Rani returns for a second season of Britain By Beach. Britain is an island with over a thousand beaches and across the centuries, history has been made on many of them.
Whether it’s the hidden story of Victorian engineering buried under the Cornish sand, the drama of invasions repelled on the Welsh coast, or the tragedy of the country’s worst RNLI life-boat disaster, Anita Rani meets historians and locals whose lives have been touched by the events that took place on the beaches of Britain.
Season Two, Episode Two:
This episode is set in Cornwall, a county renowned for its 420 miles of glorious coastline. At stunning Porthcurno beach, Anita uncovers the hidden story of Victorian engineering, literally buried under the golden sand, and how this remote spot remains central to Britain’s global communications. At Botallack mine, Anita discovers how it wasn’t only precious metal once exported from here, but miners themselves.
