Crabbing in Looe in 1972 – Postcard from the past!

An anonymous person sent me this postcard yesterday that seems to have been taken back in 1972! It’s quite extraordinary and depicts a huge crab on East Looe Beach stalking seagulls! The slightly creased postcard clearly shows an enormous crab about to pounce on the poor unsuspecting gulls as they relax in the morning sunshine. [...]
