Greetings From Staithes

The postcard says it all, some lovely shots of Staithes, a busy scene on the beach, it looks as though the boats are coming in after a busy day fishing.

Staithes from the Air-1

This aerial view of Staithes was taken from over the sea in 1952/3. The old village looks much the same as we know it today, except for the railway viaduct dominating the valley. The Cod and Lobster looks odd, being so dark and not white.

Staithes from the Air-2

An aerial view of Staithes taken from over the land, looking towards the sea, about 1952. The viaduct and railway line can be clearly seen.

It is interesting to see how development has started at the top of the village and to compare it to what we know now.
