Model of fish baulk

Description

The Plover Scar fish baulk at Cockersands showing the long 'hedge' wall of stones, stakes and branches forming a 'U' shape in which the fish were trapped on the ebb tide. The deep river channel runs along the left hand side of the baulk and beside the lighthouse. Made and given by Robert Parkinson.
