The Time and Tide Bell is cast in bronze and rings at high tide in Par Bay. We were fortunate that the tide was low when we visited and so were able to walk
out over the wet sand – and actually give it the bell a ‘toll!’
On our return to the hall further members were looking through our society ‘scrap books’ and archive photos before we all tucked into a welcome pasty and saffron bun, washed down with copious cups of tea!
On Saturday 27th June, as part of our Tales of the Tides Project, the Flotsam & Jetsam Art Workshop at Ashtorre Rock Community Centre proved a great success and a joyful celebration of creativity along the Tamar.
