Sunlight spills across the stone façades and red-tiled roofs of Robin Hood’s Bay, as a narrow village street winds uphill past local shops and guesthouses. A single car and a scattering of pedestrians evoke the quiet pace of life in this storied North Yorkshire fishing village — its timeless character untouched by modern sprawl.

Published by Judges of Hastings and postmarked 24 July 1987, this full-colour postcard (serial C6957) was mailed within England and franked with a 13p Queen Elizabeth II definitive stamp. A handwritten message on the reverse mentions a stay in Whitby and local fishing — adding personal narrative to the captured scene.

Perfect for collectors of British coastal heritage, this card preserves the architectural charm and lived atmosphere of one of Yorkshire’s most beloved seaside enclaves. A tribute to the enduring appeal of England’s historic shorelines.
