One man and his dog stand looking out to sea (bottom centre) on the sandy beach at Cayton Bay, south of Scarborough.
Now there are modern holiday camps here, including Cayton Bay and Killerby Old Hall estate, which has a wildlife lake.
The man with the horse and cart on the left is at the village pump, which is situated in front of the Methodist Chapel.
The old Calton burial ground just beyond is where the philosopher David Hume is buried.
In the background on Calton Hill stands the unfinished monument to the Scottish dead of the Napoleonic Wars. The monument was started in 1822, but the money ran out and it was never completed.
Calton Hill can be seen in the distance.
Note the cart on the left of the picture.
This is a peaceful scene, with horse and cart on a deserted and remarkably leafy Lewes Road.
A horse takes a breather and feeds from its nosebag on the pavement.The cart on the left looks like a brewer's dray - in the back are barrels - and is probably delivering to the Black Bull on the right.There
The town developed fast during the 19th century, important industries were brewing - see the brewer's cart on the left - and brick and tile manufacture.
The cart on the right carries milk churns: deliveries of milk from a local farmer.
Looking up Millgate towards the same three-storey building that we see in 65469 (behind the horse and cart), on a day when the children were not at school.

1950 it may be, but the heavily laden cart on the right could come from an earlier age. Dominating this view, however, is the beautiful St Nicholas's Church on The Cross.
On the left are colliers unloading—note that the coal is being transferred to horse and cart. On the right is the famous clock house.
The heavy roller on the front broke off, and a caravan and water cart on tow overtook the steam roller and overturned. The road was closed for four hours!
Originally constructed in the 1830s Cardiff Union Workhouse was the first significant public building of the Canton/Riverside area.
Carriages can be seen along the street, and over on the right is a goat cart. On the left is the facade of the Post Office.
The cart on the left looks like a brewer's dray - in the back are barrels - and is probably delivering to the Black Bull on the right.

Half-way up the street is what appears to be a water-cart on damping-down duty.
As in picture No 39385, the photographer's activities grip the attention of all those present - with the exception of a border collie, who only has eyes for his master standing beside the laden cart. On
