More about this scene
Jet mining was a large industry here, and involved cutting into the cliff. Craftsmen turned jet into beautiful ornaments and jewellery. In the cliff that housed the mine there was a cave, Hob Holes: legend had it that a hob man, or goblin, lived there, who could cure whooping cough. Whalers, fishermen and smugglers were once regular visitors to the bay, where erosion has always been a persistent problem.
