More about this scene

Dressed in all their finery, Mum and Dad are hoping to protect their daughter from the herd of cows coming towards them. There is very little grazing in this street apart from the gardens fronting the houses on the left - fortunately, the garden gates are all securely closed! The large building in the background is the popular Overstrand Hotel.

Overstrand Hotel 1903 47
Thanks to Mr T Richards for his historic knowledge of Overstrand, (and some delving into Overstrandonline) this is indeed the hotel which was built in 1903, suffered subsidence 1906, burnt down 1947 and subsequently fell down the cliff shortly after. Unless the sea has washed them away remnants of the holtel could still be found on the beach.

Overstrand The Village 1906 Ref 56867
Could somebody with historic reference please quell my curiosity regarding this photograph. I lived in the village from 1958-71 and cannot see where this picture was taken. I have studied it at length and can't see anything familiar, neither building or direction. Could this picture show the hotel that fell over the cliff just to the Sidestrand side if the village, pieces of which you can still find on the beach?

However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.
