Some of the villagers in the threatened Amreth, on Pembrokeshire coast of Wales, have given up the battle against the Atlantic and have been forced to leave their homes to the sea. Battered by high spring tides, several cottages facing the Atlantic have been wrecked and their owners forced to leave their homes. Villagers have reinforced the sea wall in an effort to prevent the waves bursting through and wiping out the village. Photo shows a family piling their furniture, etc., on a track as they left their cottage to the sea at Amreth. 6 February 1939
