 Although clearly Staithes based, with Cowbar Nab in the background we have no date or publisher for this unused postcard image. The small cross is apparently a message for the un-named recipient of the card, apparently known to both parties! Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  This is one of the quartet of fishing entitled linked postcards; but the only one bearing any identification – Fisher Life Studies. Valentines Series – it is possibly Staithes based; identification is aided by the backgrounds. Again no indication of date. Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  Despite the caption, the correct spelling is Gisborough Hall. So even Frith’s who produced this card could be incorrect! However this Grade II listed building, now a MacDonald’s hotel still dominates the road into Guisborough from Whitby. The original manor house was demolished in the early 19th century when the Chaloner family moved to Long Hull. In 1842 Admiral Thomas Chaloner inherited the estate and in 1856 created the present mansion house in the Jacobean style. Image courtesy of a friend of the ECIA. |
