On my recent tour of Cornwall, I was disappointed not to find any Coastguard Stations.
I found lots of many old Coastguard cottages but no CRS/CRE (Coastguard Rescue Station or the older Coastguard Rescue Equipment buildings).
20 years ago it was part of the holiday to visit another station and talk "coastguard", but this is become rather rare and something the Chief Coastguard has touched on in a recent meeting that some of our traditions are disappearing?
Perhaps we should learn from the RNLI as throughout Cornwall there were plenty of signs pointing out the lifeboat stations, in fact having failed to find the Coastguard Station, I visited the lifeboat house instead!
