Description: | This view shows the ruins of Tynemouth Priory and Castle in the late 18th century. The lighthouse can be seen on the cliff head. Bathing machines are on the beach below the cliffs. These could be pulled into the water by horses or strong bathing attendants to allow bathers privacy. Cobles (small boats) with covers for their passengers are near the beach, and a large ship is putting out to sea from the mouth of the Tyne. Ralph Waters was a Newcastle artist who painted town scenes and views. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North Tyneside men people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
