Introduction | Seascapes Character Types
In addition to the HSC mapping, both present and historic, the user of the HSC would normally require a commentary. This would place the character mapping into its historical context; identify typical historic environment components; provide guidance on condition, forces for change, etc, and make reasonable and realistic recommendations. For the Scarborough to Hartlepool coast, this text has been applied to the Character Types, and particularly to their present form. It has been organised systematically so that the reader is able to find their way around each Type.
It must be emphasised that while the text is based on research undertaken for this project, it should not be regarded as definitive. There is no doubt that more detailed research and more sensitive awareness of threats and reasonable responses exists. The text presented here should be regarded as a starting point for more detailed work as needs dictate.
The texts are presented as hyperlinks by Broad Character Types, alphabetical order below:
