No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that a rubbish dump being created would, in the space of a century, become a protected area. Yet that is exactly what happened to what has come to be known as Glass Beach, just outside Fort Bragg in California.
The residents there had no refuse collection so, with the sea but decades of wear had done their work on much of the glass which had been thrown over the side of the cliffs. The waves and the weather had smashed, pounded and ground the glass in to smooth, small, rounded objects – million upon million of them.
