A much photographed area of Staithes or ’Steers’ as the locals call it, Cowbar on the left of the picture, Staithes on the right and the fisherman tending his boat in the middle

Thanks to Beryl Morris for this colour-tinted view of Staithes Beck, looking upstream to the footbridge and viaduct. This card is date-stamped july 14, 1905.
A great picture showing the steepness of Cowbar bank, those cottages are still standing. Just a little of Staithes showing on the left.
Lovely old photo of Cowbar can anyone date it for me?
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.
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!)
An extremely dynamic image of the North Sea hammering the sea wall at Staithes during the storm that wrecked The Cod and Lobster Public House
Not really – the result of serious storm damage to The Cod & Lobster public house in Staithes, captured in a dramatic sequence of photographs taken at the time. |
