Efforts to prevent erosion

[edit]

Way back in the 1970s there was concern that the island was disappearing, and there was an effort to stabilise it with bundles of old car tyres - but I have no sources for this; only memories! Springnuts (talk) 11:20, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative spelling

[edit]

I sailed there a lot as a youngster, and I think the island was always spelled "Pewit". However, Jack Coote's pilot book is a thoroughly RS - "East Coast Rivers" was the standard pilot book from the 1960s, but you had to write to the club at the River Deben for the up-to-date chart showing the way across the bar. But I digress. Springnuts (talk) 18:00, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
