Description
This is the Bolts down Bay. I have an older shot in my gallery. I revisited this place to get what I consider a better shot. I thank you all so much for encouraging me to post more in this series. I will give you a little history of this tiny houses and narrow alleyways in Bay. In the 18th century Robin Hood's Bay was considered the busiest smuggling community on the North Yorkshire Coast. It was said that a bale of silk or a keg of brandy could pass from the bottom of the village to the top of the village without leaving the houses. A series of cellars, hiding places and bolt holes we used to pass contraband goods from house to house. Fisherfolk, farmers, the clergy and the gentry were all involed in the smuggling!! Today, sadly most of these beautiful houses are holiday cottages. Thank you for reading and looking. Hugs. Diane.
