Solution

The theme is the artwork “TIME AND TIDE BELL” by Marcus VERGETTE, comprising (so far) double bell installations at thirteen coastal locations around the UK.  The bells ring around high tide at each location; over the years, rising sea levels caused by climate change will alter the ringing pattern of the bells, and provide a reminder of the deleterious effects of climate change.

The thirteen locations are BOSTA BEACH, REDCAR, MORECAMBE, CEMAES, MABLETHORPE, HAPPISBURGH, ABERDYFI, HARWICH, TRINITY BUOY WHARF, APPLEDORE, VENTNOR, PAR and BRIXHAM.

Six of these locations – BOSTA BEACH, MORECAMBE, ABERDYFI, HAPPISBURGH, APPLEDORE and VENTNOR occur as jumbles of extra words in clues.  Six more – REDCAR, CEMAES, MABLETHORPE, HARWICH, PAR and BRIXHAM occur as clashes of crossing entries.  The final location – TRINITY BUOY WHARF – occurs as a combination of both these gimmicks.

Extra letters from wordplay spell “NEVER SEND TO KNOW FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS”, part of a quotation from the poet John Donne, which seems (at least to Hedge-sparrow) a fitting accompaniment to Vergette’s artwork.
