We were very impressed by this image and we are now advised by Paul Clarke: ”The man in the photograph is my late father Eddie Clarke, and the boy is Keith Simpson. The boat was owned by my father and later went on to get the boat ‘Boy Paul’ built at Sandsend. This photograph appeared in and was taken by a photographer from The Northern Echo in about 1961-1963”. A. N. Andre has advised: “The Sea Rover boats of which there were two; Sea Rover I and Sea Rover II originally belonged to the Simpson family.” Thanks to Stephen Steyert and Paul Clarke for the missing information, also to A. N. Andre for the update..

From the famous Cynicus postcard series. This actual scene was repeated on postcards throughout the world, even as far away as New Zealand. The series date from the 1900 to 1920s period, although of all the times I have been to Skinningrove beach I have never seen a sight like this, has anyone else? Image courtesy of Jean Dean.

A lovely clear photograph, the road hasn’t changed much other than you couldn’t stand today where the two young girls are, too much traffic. Eric Johnson informs us that it is definitely pre 1906 and the building of the Congregational Chapel by Mr Hebditch. Image courtesy of Keith Bowers and many thanks to Eric for the update.
Almost looks posed; but a lovely hand-tinted picture of Skinningrove beach with the jetty and ships inthe background. Image courtesy of Jean Dean.
