This view over East Row beck obviously with a low tide and low water levels in the stream. Must have been a dry summer?

 Donkey rides obviously featured as part of the regular Sandsend beach scene. Today they are a fast vanishing past-time for beach users. Perhaps the horseman is seeking direction? Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  Again a very quiet beach scene, with bathing tents rather than the normal huts. Possibly early 20th century, biut if anybody can advise we will amend. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  With at least one bathing hut in this view we have an indication that it probably dates from early 20th century. A calm day even the reflections of the model sailing boats are clear seen. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  The horse and cart in the middle of this view give a telling indication of the quietness of the scene presented. No vehicles rushing to get over the bridge as can be seen today. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  The view from above Sandsend railway station shows clearly the Sandsend Hotel in the centre; whilst beyond can be seen the road and rail track proceeding towards Whitby. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  A view showing the end of Dunsley Lane, viewing Sandsend front and Kettleness point. The block of land encompassing the railway engine shed and adjacent parking (has nowadays been replaced with stone built houses), is well seperated from the road to Whitby by substantial wooden board fencing. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This view is of East Row with the white painted Hart Inn in the centre of the image. St Mary’s Church and Whitby Abbey can be seen in the far background. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  The point is in the background; of greater interest is the range of buildings on the left. This is the Sandsend Alum house, long since demolished to be replaced by a car park and range of garages huddled under the former railway banking. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This is the first in a series of twelve postcards of Sandsend from early in the 20th century. This view shows an area much changed today, some of the buildings in the centre have long gone to be replaced with a gravelled parking area. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah. |
