Oral history interview with Ernie Nicholson, net maker

Ernie was a net maker, a rather unique job which doesn’t exist any more. Ernie knew a lot about the local day to day comings and goings of the Morecambe fishermen. He ran the West Shop, where the fishermen got all their equipment, attached to Morecambe Trawlers.
