A postcard view of Scarborough dated 1931, however the colour tinting seems a bit awry!

Saltburn Views

A “JAY EM JAY Series” postcard dating from 1907, the senders of the card were returning to Redcar after ‘A wet morning’. Still the views of Saltburn are really wonderful.

Saltersgate on the Moors

A view of Saltersgate looking north, in the days before the Fylingdales ‘golf balls’ or the more modern ‘pyramid’. The horse and cart approaching the notoriously steep hill would have been disturbed in modern times by the low-flying aircraft or the speed of modern day traffic.

Robin Hood’s Bay

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 CafĂ© & Tearoom’. The view is still the same, magnificent!
