Clive Holland's From the North Foreland to Penzance follows England's south coast harbour by harbour, from Kent to the Cornish headlands, with plates by the marine artist Maurice Randall. Published by Chatto & Windus in 1908, the book moves west from Dover and the Foreland through Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Dorset and Devon, telling busy port entrances from small fishing harbours and sheltered creeks, with shipping and weather usually supplying the action. Naval Portsmouth, seaside Torquay and working Brixham show three very different uses of the same coastline.
