Nice different view of Staithes, with Cowbar Cottages on the hill at the right hand side. These are believed to have been built by Mark Palmer (mineowner who lived at Grinkle Park) as housing for his mine worker from the former Grinkle mine, this being situated in the valley below the present Potash mine. Anne Jenner requests: “I am interested to know if Sir Charles Palmer also built the Rocket House at Cowbar and how to find out its date and use. Please can anybody help?”
