An early Great War postcard, typical of the first year of the war; before steel helmets were introduced. Postcard courtesy of Howard Wilson.  Photograph dating from 1914, the winch rope is being attached to the coble. David Richardson tells us: ”Its Staithes beach before the construction of the breakwaters so pre-1920′s.” Image courtesy of Alan Richardson; thanks to David Richardson for the location identification.  A coble is being hauled up the beach. But which beach was our query? David Richardson tells us: ”Its Staithes beach before the construction of the breakwaters so pre-1920′s.” Photograph courtesy Alan Richardson and many thanks to David Richardson for confirming the location.  From the title commentary and the well fed patrons this would seem to be a scene at an Edwardian spa. Taking the waters was popular in Victorian and Edwardian times; Scarborough and Harrogate were noted Yorkshire spa towns. Postcard courtesy of Pat Bennison.  Skinningrove Village inland, with pigeon lofts prominent on the hillside in June 1964. Image courtesy of Ken Loughran.  Looking over Skinningrove village towards the sea in June 1964.
