Lindisfarne Boat Hut And Castle

A disused boat now serving as a shed for a local fisherman sits upside down on the beach on Holy Island, on 27th September 2017, on Lindisfarne Island, Northumberland, England. Local fishermen on Holy Island considered it a sin to send boats to the junkyard. They instead found a way to transform their old herring boats into perfect little storage sheds for their nets, tools, and other equipment. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, also known simply as Holy Island, is an island off the northeast coast of England. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic and Anglo-saxon Christianity. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished.
