Following heavy seas during a storm off the coast of Saltburn in Cleveland the seabed was agitated and churned up and then, after the waters subside from the beach as the tide drops, sea coal, which is mixed in with the seawater as the heavy seas rage gradually settles and leaves behind a covering over the beach which, if you’re quick off the mark between tides, can then be collected and used as fuel. Traditionally it is used in ‘cones’ which sees the coal wrapped in newspaper with a tapered end that when lit continues to burn slowly.
