More about this scene

A lone oarsman makes his way from Sandside towards the west pier, as one of the pleasure boats returns to dis- charge its cargo of happy holidaymakers. At this time, fishing was still a profitable business. Today, the boatmen earn more ferrying visitors around or into the bay for a day's fishing.

Wow, nice to see this picture of my Grandfather, Will Appleby in his rowing boat "Cynthia". He used this boat to take passengers from the beach and did so until he was 77 years old. The boat was licensed to carry 7 passengers, and fares were a shilling for adults and sixpence for children for a 30minute ride!
