Situated at the southern end of Filey's long beach, the outcrop of Flamborough Head can be seen in the distance.

There are plenty of changing tents on this beach, where a group of boys wave at the camera (centre foreground).

These days, happily, the only active defences to be found at the resort are sand castles on the beach.

It deliberately provided fewer mass entertainment facilities than Brighton, which presumably accounts for the nearly deserted promenade and beach we see in this picture.
