Here’s a black and white shot that I tried to make from exactly the same place as a photograph taken in 1931 on Filey Brigg, 89 years ago. The amount of erosion from the action of the sea actually threw me out a bit, I’m really surprised at how much the rock formations have changed in that dramatically short geological time ! The original would have been taken on a Box Brownie (most probably,) on a very large roll film, 3 1/4 by 5 1/4 “ and then contacted printed onto thick photographic paper to make an amazingly detailed post card, intimately better than we have now !

Processed in the style of a mature, vintage photograph.
I wonder what happened to those fellows in their smart blazers, standing on the rock that’s now gone, with WW2 being 8 years away.

Wow that brings back memories, back in the day I worked at Butlins at Filey just down the beach!

Hey Private, fancy that ! It’s a small world. You must have been a young lad then; I think the Butlins camp packed up in the mid ‘80s and the it was briefly run by another company, finally closing, I think, about ‘89. It lay derelict for many years, similar eerie place to the old Pontins holiday camp at Plemont Bay, Jersey. It now been redeveloped as the Primrose Valley caravan park and there’s not a trace of the old camp left.

In the early ‘80s I knew a sixth former in the Hunmanby Hall girls school that was just a stone’s throw away from the Butlins camp. That school was the original St Trinians !!

As a trip down memory lane for you I’m attaching a shot from the Naze looking across Filey bay and you can see the Primrose Valley caravan site up the coast.

I forgot this is a B&W thread so here’s a hasty conversion !

Local reservoir a couple of days ago. You can just make out a Great Blue Heron in mid-photo.
