 A Judges’ postcard view of Robin Hood’s Bay, we like the cart parked in what is now a parking area behind the present day ‘Candy’s Café & Tearoom’. The view is still the same, magnificent! Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  A Judges’ postcard view of the Laurel Inn; is the fisherman returning from the Inn or happily on his way to work his boat? Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This view of Bay Bank is from slightly below the final brow and you are already committed to the descent! If in a vehicle; perhaps contemplating the wisdom of trusting the brakes. If on foot; thinking about the return climb and how you will feel at the top! Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive.  This Judge’s postcard view shows the iconic Victorian hotel; built in 1897. Situated at the top of the notorious Bay Bank it is an excellent place to gather one’s breath after coming up the hill or gather one’s strength before venturing down the tortuous road to the beach.

The cobbled path made with beach stone, and the porch of the doorway on the right with the carved portals probably made with timbers salvaged from one of the many wrecks on this coast.

The steps at the side of the road in this postcard view of Robin Hood’s Bay bank are still in situ today and are a useful refuge from that traffic that attempts to negotiate this very steep hill. And this despite the numerous signs at bank top and available car parks! Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive.  The view today of this image is slightly more vegetated! There are more trees and vegetation surrounding the bridge which carries the road down to the shore in Bay. King’s Beck is the small stream which runs down through the village.

A building often used in the more trying times in the past. Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive.  “Splodging at Bay” would best describe this scene from the last century. Today if the tide is down even cars seem to drive onto the beach. In our view the height of the tide would preclude such frivolous activities! Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive. |
