Fishermen - Unknown country of origin
« on: Tuesday 18 October 11 13:48 BST (UK) »
I have come across this old photo of some fishermen out here in Spain, but in an English thrift shop. It could therefore be of UK origin or Spanish. Does anyone have any ideas on date and country of origin?

Thanks Skoosh. Anyone recognise the castle as Whitby?

It`s St. Mary`s Church and definitely Whitby.

Brilliant Mosiefish, thanks for that. Anyone offer a date? Pre 1900 I would think.

Many thanks to the 2 responders. I have located the photo from the Frank Sutcliffe collection taken at Whitby during Victoria's reign. It makes all the difference when you have it identified. Thanks all.
