Aldbrough Cliffs 1910 (archive ref PO-1-2-1)

from East Riding Archives

• Mark Dyson said:

  I'd hazard a guess that this location is now 100-150 yards out to sea (erosion is at least 1 yard per year, possibly more). In 1910 the present road carried on then became a T junction with roads heading parallel to the cliffs in both directions. Maybe the building shown is the old "Royal Hotel"?

  Unusual metal guard rail at bottom - is it something to do with a tramway? Sometimes Flickr is amazing - And in May 2017

  Aha! The tram - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dunluce_Castle_%26_Giant%27s_C... From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant%27s_Causeway_Tramway Edit - "...electric power ... ... was originally fed to the trains via an elevated third rail which ran alongside the line ... " Edit 2 - "The section from Bushmills to the Giant's Causeway opened on 1 July 1887. In 1895 a cyclist died of electric shock after coming into contact with the conductor rail. At the subsequent inquiry it was revealed that the line voltage varied from an average of 290 V up to 360 V, and the company agreed to a temporary reduction in the voltage, which limited the number of services that could be electrically worked. The third rail was replaced by overhead electric wire using side poles from 26 July 1899, apparently initially at 250 V."

  " ... In 1916, the house was cleared and remained empty until 1950. It was inherited in July 1939 by Edwina Mountbatten, who, with her husband Admiral of the Fleet Louis Mountbatten, made several improvements, installing electricity and a mains water supply.[3] After his wife's death in February 1960, Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, spent his summers there until his death when his boat was blown up off the coast of Mullaghmore by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in August 1979 ...

  Another Monkey photo says "1954 September" - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000732519
