This short amateur film by George Theaker and Peter Dobing records the sea life found at the edge of the shore from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle in Northumberland, and includes digging for cockles. Title: ...along the margin of the sea. Title: Craster to Dustanburgh Castle Northumberland Title: a film by George Theaker & Peter Dobing A small fishing boat is drawn up on the shore, the name 'Craster' on its stern. A general view follows of more boats on the shore and a man digging on the exposed sand. A group of women are sitting on a kerb. Behind them there's a wall with a copper or bronze plaque stained green by weather exposure. A large metal cylindrical structure dominates the foreground. A man is working on a lobster pot. Out at sea, a small motor powered fishing boat makes its way across the sea, with seagulls following behind. On the quayside, a man works next to some lobster pots. General views follow of a boat out at sea and seaweed exposed in shallow water. Closer views show a rock pool and water washing over rocks with different types of plant and animal life that thrive in an underwater environment. General views follow of sailing boats out at sea. Gorse bushes are in full bloom on the cliff top, the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle in the background. Various views of the castle follow.  A couple of shelduck wander across the rocky shore. Other birds swim by on the sea near rocks, including a mother and her young brood, who escape the rough sea by clambering on to a rocky shelf, then set off back in the sea again. General views follow of waves crashing on shore with Dunstanburgh Castle in the background. Closer views follow of the castle, and of the rocks and cliffs nearby, popular with the seabirds, especially kittiwakes. Out at sea on a rocky outcrop, a cormorant spreads its wings. A view of a seagull in flight follows, and a final view of Dunstanburgh Castle closes the film. Title: ...along the margin of the sea. The End
