An early post card view of Runswick Bay, before the roads were ”improved”? Note the line of washing, obviously having a good flap in the breeze. It would interfer with traffic today!

A view of Hinderwell High Street, even today the butcher’s shop shown still operates, although with a different name on the frontage.
A delightful view of the Fox and Hounds at Dalehouse. Simon Chapman advises us with regards to dating: ”Note in the background to the left – the bridge which carried the railway from Port Mulgrave to Grinkle Mine - At this point it crossed both the road and Easington Beck. The mine was abandoned in 1934 so the picture was probably taken before that date.”
It looks as though there has been a good fight here and not just an argument.
What a lovely early postcard loaned to us by Tina Dowey of a very pretty village loved by all who visit it.
A lovely postcard by T Watson Lythe, of the castle at Mulgrave. what date do you think this photo would have been taken?
Nice different view of Staithes, with Cowbar Cottages on the hill at the right hand side. These are believed to have been built by Mark Palmer (mineowner who lived at Grinkle Park) as housing for his mine worker from the former Grinkle mine, this being situated in the valley below the present Potash mine. Thanks go to Joyce Dobson for the loan of the photo and to Neil Suckling for the update.
One more of Joyce Dobson’s photographs, at first glance it looks rather modern but then looking closer you can see that it is a beautifully tinted old photo.
This view of the harbour at Port Mulgrave was taken in 1980. Image courtesy of Mrs. Janet Wilson.
Thanks to Janet Wilson for this photo of her father, Denis Codling, in his boat at Port Mulgrave. |
