Lifeboat Community
 Listen to the item
Spurn Point is a spit of windswept sand dividing the North Sea from the Humber Estuary and home to one of England's most isolated and closely knit communities.
Everyone here聽works for the Lifeboat Station - all seven of the crew that is, and their families - that's all! The men work round-the-clock, 7 days a week, in often treacherous seas...so how do they cope living & working in such an intense environment?
