A lovely, peaceful image, the boats hauled up on the beach, Cowbar Nab curving protectively round the village. No wonder it’s a popular visitor spot. But strictly a working village when this photograph was taken, most Victorian’s didn’t have holidays and Sunday was God’s day.
A great picture showing the steepness of Cowbar bank, those cottages are still standing. Just a little of Staithes showing on the left.  Staithes An artists dream picture, Staithes on the right and Cowbar on the left a foot bridge in the foreground with a man and his horse crossing. (A view of the footbridge across the beck, with Cowbar Nab in the back ground. The hand tinting shows to good effect particularly in the roofs of the cottages. – John G)  SS Aberdonian SS Aberdonian, intending to tie up at Skinningrove Jetty, overshot and grounded on Wednesday 18th June 1930 at Cowbar, she was re-floated at high tide on 22nd June 1930. From information found on the web: the SS Aberdonian was built on the Clyde in 1909 by D & W Henderson and registered at Aberdeen by the Aberdeen Steam Navigation Company. She served as a hospital ship during the first World War, evacuating casualties from France after the disaster of the Somme on the 1st July 1916 and as a Depot Ship at Fort William in 1940. |
