More about this scene
The Cod & Lobster Inn has long been a distinctive landmark in Staithes. Here two 1950's ladies take a stroll along the harbour side. The Cod & Lobster has been battered by the elements over the centuries. Three earlier inns have been destroyed, and this building was severely damaged in 1953. It has also been flooded a number of times.

My father would take his holidays towards the end of the summer and we had the house to ourselves.
