A view over the fishing boats , to the jetty at Skinningrove. Some building work appears to be under way on the jetty wall, the Archive asked: “Perhaps some of our viewers can recognise the boats and who were the owners, and with a possible date?” Colin Hart tells us: ”The boat in the foreground WY26 named ”Progress” was owned by my Grandad Bob Hart, he lived at 143 Grove Hill and the boat was used for the Gala Queen procession in the Boatmans Gala each year as seen in other photographs in the Archive”. Kathleen Fenwick tells us: ”The man standing beside the boat is my great-uncle Charlie Langford, he lived 1, New Company Row, Skinningrove; his boat had only one stripe – 1 plank wide. Don’t know its name.”
