Not a very good photo but after more than a 100 years what can we expect? It’s lovely to see the women in their Steers bonnets, a tradition long gone now, looks as though they have had a good catch. lady at the front with back to camera. wearing a black bonnet, signifies she is in mourning, for a family member.
Are the fish being auctioned in this photo? The man in the bowler hat doesn’t look like fisherman, it doesn’t look like they had had a very good day fishing
Many people have taken this shot – but only one person has mastered it – Frank Meadow Sutcliffe.

Another picture of a train on Staithes viaduct – this time Loftus bound. The engine is a BR Class 4MT 2-6-4T (”Standard” Tank) heading a local commuter train with some very mixed stock, including a non-corridor brake 3rd and a non-corridor composite 2nd/3rd.
A tranquil shot, taken from Cowbar side, looking inland towards the railway viaduct.
A lovely photo, shows the narrow street to perfection and the ladies in their Staithes (or Steers as locals know it) bonnets, even if you go to Staithes now you never seem to see the bonnets so traditional and popular with the fisherwomen of 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.
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.
The wave after the wave that wrecked The Cod and Lobster? Another extremely dynamic image of the storm - I bet the photographer sold the seventh wave image to the North-Eastern Gazette! (There’s an old fisherman’s saying that the seventh wave is the highest when the tide comes in - I used to spend ages on Redcar beach counting waves as a result of this!)
