A stroll along the beach at the weekend revealed this object washed up - or more likely, uncovered by the winds and rains having been washed up or left there some years ago.
Does anyone out there know what it is or was used for? If you do, please comment below. Its not in the best of health, but I'm sure a spray of WD40 and some TLC should soon see it as good as new!
It is generally accepted that there's lots of spent and un-spent ordnance in and around the bay, and the stormy weather that we've seen lately often uncovers some of it and brings it into view.
If you do spot anything that you believe to be ordnance, or believe could be ordnance, do not touch it, do not pick it up, but call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

It's a winch, probably deck mounted on a boat, now upside down.
Do I win a prize?
I'll second Anonymous' verdict - definitely a small winch of some kind.
