I found these pictures from a few years ago they were taken at Snettersham on the East Coast [the Wash ] , there was a good Dozen on the High Water mark and I often wondered what brought them there, I think they are called Tope and over the years I have seen many caught there in nets that the Old boys put out at low Tide, there used to be masses of Cockles there but now they seem to have gone sad realy because as a family we used to gather Buckets of them every day we were there .
