This view of Sandsend and Lythe bank is from a postcard, post marked with the date of 7th June, 1919. Perhaps from a holiday post World War I and all its horrors.

 A view of Sandsend, entitled “Sand’s End and the Cliffs”; the railway station and its environs look remarkably tidy! The image is from a published “Views of Whitby & District”, undated but obviously early 20th century. The image also is also in ”Photographic View Album of Whitby”. (photographed and printed by Valentine & Sons Ltd., Dundee).  Construction in progress of the Raithwaite culvert and road – Whitby to Sandsend – this to allow access for the Newholm beck to flow into the sea. The present day road from Sandsend to Whitby passes over this now hidden engineering work. David Richardson advised: “The photograph was taken sometime during the early 1920’s when the culvert and road where constructed in Raithwaite valley near Sandsend.” The original image possibly taken by Tom Watson of Lythe; he was commissioned to make a week by week photographic record of the works.
