Staithes, North Yorkshire, England
Staithes, North Yorkshire. At the turn of the 20th century, a fleet of 80 fishing vessels operated out of Staithes. Today only one remains and over half the cottages in the picturesque village are owned by outsiders as holiday homes. The village used to be well known as an artists colony, with a group of artists known as the " Staithes Group", or the " Northern Impressionists" based there.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Staithes, a charming fishing village nestled in the picturesque landscape of North Yorkshire, England. Once a bustling hub for fishing with a fleet of 80 vessels at the turn of the 20th century, today only one boat remains as a testament to its rich maritime history. The village's quaint cottages, which dot the cliffside overlooking the North Sea, have become sought-after holiday homes predominantly owned by outsiders. Staithes was not only known for its fishing heritage but also gained fame as an artists' colony. A group of talented painters called the "Staithes Group" or "Northern Impressionists" found inspiration in this idyllic setting and created stunning works that captured its natural beauty. Interestingly, even Captain James Cook himself once worked here as a grocer's apprentice during his early years. The photograph showcases not just the village itself but also highlights various elements that define Staithes' charm - from colorful flowers adorning cottage gardens to meandering streams and rivers that flow through this enchanting location. It is evident why visitors are drawn to this spot on England's coast. Peter Thompson skillfully captures these features in his lens, allowing us to appreciate both nature's wonders and human-made structures harmoniously coexisting in this timeless corner of Britain. This image serves as a poignant reminder of Staithes' historical significance and enduring appeal for generations to come.
