It looks like sand being unloaded which seems strange considering all the sand that's available on the coast. In some areas such as South Shields taking sand form the beaches is illegal. BUT is it the right type of sand that is available locally. There were similar problems with cola many years ago. Local cola wasn't suitable for the power station at Blyth so it was shipped in!
