Staithes Fishermen

The fish are being auctioned in this photograph, although it doesn’t look like they have had a very good day fishing. C. W. Barker, writing on behalf of her granddad tells us: ” The auctioneer is near definitely Mr James, possibly a first name to follow.” Following researches the Staithes museum has enabled some of the naming of participants in the auction; Dick Thompson, Isaac Ellis, Tom Frank Harrison, ??, ??, Dick Humphrey, ??, John James (Auctioneer), Jim Turnbull, ??, Willie Cole, Ned Verrill, ? Porritt, ??.
