At Leigh-on-Sea, BBC Newsreel captured the work of cockle gatherers during the holiday season.
As the tide receded, gatherers made the most of the rich hunting ground in shallow waters, before carrying their cockles ashore and preparing them for sale at the market.
Clip from Newsreel, originally broadcast on BBC Television, Monday 21 June, 1948.
