The Ulric Walmsley Catalogue

Page 3 – Inside Baytown, Robin Hood's Bay

POSTCARDS from the 1904 and 1905 series again feature prominently in this selection of paintings of scenes inside Baytown, the oldest part of Robin Hood's Bay. The focus of all these works is the buildings themselves, with their colourful roof-tiles. Here and there small figures add human interest.
