Staithes, North Yorkshire
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. In 1745-1746 the future Captain James Cook worked in the village as a grocers apprentice

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Staithes, a charming fishing village nestled in the picturesque landscape of North Yorkshire. Once bustling with a fleet of 80 fishing vessels at the turn of the 20th century, today only one remains, serving as a testament to its rich maritime history. However, despite this decline in fishing activity, Staithes continues to enchant visitors with its idyllic cottages and breathtaking coastal cliffs. Over time, this quaint village has undergone changes as more than half of its cottages are now owned by outsiders who use them as holiday homes. Nevertheless, it still retains its allure and serves as an inspiration for artists from all over. In fact, Staithes was once renowned for being an artists' colony known as the "Staithes Group" or "Northern Impressionists" attracting creative minds seeking inspiration from its scenic surroundings. Adding to its historical significance is the fact that Captain James Cook himself worked here in his early years as a grocer's apprentice between 1745-1746. This connection further enhances Staithes' appeal and highlights its place within British history. With stunning views encompassing both river and sea landscapes along with traditional rooftops dotting the horizon, it is no wonder that Peter Thompson expertly captured this moment through his lens. This print serves not only as a beautiful depiction but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when life revolved around fishing expeditions and artistic endeavors amidst nature's splendor.
