In East Sussex, UK, Tori and the team explore a shipwreck from the 1740s, discover a prehistoric well shaft, and investigate a harbor that took 63 years to build but only worked for four months.

Every day, on a sandy beach or a rocky foreshore, fascinating historical evidence appears and disappears as the tide rolls in and rolls back out again across the British coastline. Palaeontologist Dr Tori Herridge and experts from CITiZAN (the Coastal & Inter-tidal Archaeological Network) investigate the stories behind these intriguing remains. From abandoned villages, prehistoric footprints, shipwrecks, submerged forests, we follow the clues to how people have survived on the coast, how they’ve learnt to live alongside the sea. It is an archaeological race against time as Shoreline Detectives battles to capture a vanishing past for us all to see.
