This beautiful illustrated book contains 460 photographs which is unprecedented these days and will appeal to all those interested in 'magic' Staithes. The author has included images from a hoard of magic lantern slides taken in 1890 nearly 14 years prior to photographic postcards coming on stream. There are some ground breaking images such as the only known photograph of artist Laura Knight (nee Johnson) painting in the beck at Staithes along with fellow Staithes Group Artist Fred Jackson. The main thrust of this book is Staithes, the fishing village and its hard working fisher folk and their unique cobles together with the several eminent photographers who captured the important heritage images in this hard to find book.

Local old-time photographer Henry Charles Morley features heavily with his atmospheric real photographic images as is local modern day photographer Terry Lawson.

The book contains two maps showing points of interest including all the Yards and Steps.

Local character Willie Wright is featured alongside his beloved coble 'Mizpah'.

The book includes in depth research on all of the images including the Master Mariners, Hard Working Women, Local Fishermen, Staithes Bonnets, Smock Jackets, local Pubs, Shops, Cafe's, Chapels, Lifeboats, War time etc.

This is a book that you will be unable to put down and has received huge accolades for its quality.
