More help needed again guys & gals. I've recently bought (another) large collection of photograph albums. All from the 1890s to early 20th century. I think I know where this is, but I need some confirmation so I can catalogue them with at least 99% certainty.

Your thoughts please.

I've a few more I need help with, I'll post them later in the week.

Thanks for looking, your help is always greatly appreciated.

based on no knowledge at all, i'm going to have a guess at somewhere in Wales (Tenby perhaps?).  Don't know why as I've never even been to the Welsh coast, but just got a feeling from those pictures that that is where they are.  Probably completely wrong.

Robert is right (at least about the 2nd pic)

I guess Mystic Meg's job is safe.

Wow, I haven't been there for years, and I don't know it that well, it just had a "feel" about it.

First thing I thought when I saw the pics was Whitby, I was last there age 12 on a school trip *_*.

Well thanks for the congratulations but I don't think it is Whitby now, that pic brings Robin Hood's Bay back to me now. It is along a run of such bays with Runswick Bay the prettiest of them all, and I think the most Northerly.

The first pic I've posted is Robin Hood's bay c1890 - the link is to a picture of Robin Hood's bay today.

Or do you mean the top picture? not sure where that is.  I cross posted with you, so my last message was in reply to Robert's last message and now I'm getting lost!!!!

Yep, cross posts lol (and a little .... hey, where has the blonde moment emoticon gone???)

Certainly the same place, nice find! I can't seem to find anywhere to fit the top piccie yet, could very possibly be the same area.
