This hand tinted postcard view of the Cowbar footbridge has a number of small boats included, possibly a Sunday and so no fishing on this day of rest!

 This postcard view of the harbour at Staithes shows very few boats in view and a very calm seas, perhaps they were all out fishing? Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  This Legg Series postcard shows another rough day in the Cod & Lobster. No fishing that day! Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  More a line drawing than a photograph of Staithes we are unsure of the date of this postcard view, we would welcome suggestions as to the date. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  A favourite spot for photographing Staithes, we have several postcards of this view from over the years; the original footbridge now has been replaced with a more substantial structure. Postcard courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  The road to Staithes harbour is reached by travelling down the steep bank; a postcard view from the early 20th century. Image of Maurice Grayson.  A view of Staithes before the breakwater was constructed, a lone coble sets sail from the beach on a fishing trip. The image is from a Judges postcard. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  Seaton Garth, Staithes, around 1900; someone’s chickens are loose on the Garth. In more modern times and despite the restrictions on motor vehicles accessing the Garth the poultry would have little chance to roam! Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  A further view of the wave damage to the Cod and Lobster corner, be a bit draughty that night in the bar! Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson  A tinted postcard looking up Staithes beck, with the old footbridge to Cowbar side. The railway bridge in the distance and in the beck a double ended coble is being rowed towards the sea. A Watson or Wilson postcard courtesy of Maurice Grayson. |
