Skegness is a thriving resort on the East Coast of England. Skegness once extended much further out to sea and the coastline has suffered erosion over many years though it is now gaining ground.

Salt was manufactured along much of the low lying coast of Lincolnshire in Roman times and evidence of their working sites and even artifacts bearing their fingerprints can still be found today.
