This image is very reminiscent of old Hartlepool which featured housing along the sea wall almost on the beach. It must have been quite an experience living in one of these--especially on stormy nights!

Awesome photo! I like the life jackets with bowlers look. Also the "off road" wheels to get the boat across the beach.

Gorgeous shot, this is really a brilliant. Very creative, Love to see more shots from you.. Check Out My Photostream Too Please

This is a photograph of Hartlepool Lifeboat at Coventry lifeboat day

Hi John thanks for the comment - where did you get your information from? we'd be glad to ammend our record of this photograph if it is incorrect

This is the crew from Hartlepool when they went down to Coventry to thank them for fundraising for the Cycilist lifeboat in 1896. Suprisingly this lifeboat is the whitby built lifeboat Upgang Two. My great Grandfather was a crew member on that photograph.

Still not changed the caption on the photograph. I have all the names of the crew. the photograph was taken on 28th October 1898, Back row;-T Reed (Coxswain)/ T Hood / M Hastings / J Pounder / j J H Denton /R Corner / J W ebster(Bosun) Front Row;- S Southeran (Ass Coxswain)/ W Pounder / G Southeran/ J Cambridge/ W Horsley / J Horsley Walter Mason(Local Sec) "Rigger" Bowes( RNLI Inst London)Alfred Belk(Hon Sec Hartlepool) A J Boyle (Org Sec London)
