Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire, England: bustling village centre in 1926, with a specialist map shop on the right. Robin Hoods Bay is a fishing village on the North Yorkshire Coast, 6 miles south of Whitby and 15 miles north of Scarborough. It is known to the locals as ‘Bay Town’. Today, its narrow cobbled streets, charming cottages and brooding cliffs attract many visitors and its beach is renowned for fossils. The bay was originally a farming and fishing community, but during the late 1700s smuggling was rife. In the 1800s, the fishing industry began to wain and nowadays the town relies more on tourism than it does on fishing. The 1897 novel 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker has scenes set in the village. This vintage monochrome photograph, taken in 1926, comes from a Yorkshire family collection.
