  • Capture 1
  • 20 Oct 2023

When several dead bodies and a young woman in shock are found on Snape Island by Hamp Gurney and his brother John, an expedition is mounted to discover what happened. This is the harbour at Ilfracombe in Devon with St. Philip & St. James church to the left. The location also appears in ‘Paperhouse’.

Viewed from the path leading to St. James Park. I should have been slightly higher but after this point a large fence and bushes blocked the view. (SD)
