That Sinking Feeling: A Snapshot of Skinningrove, North Yorks in the 1970s This evocative photograph captures the mood of a small coastal village in North Yorkshire, England during the 1970s. Titled 'That Sinking Feeling', the image depicts two young boys, Robin and Dale, standing on the edge of a crumbling cliff at Skinningrove, their expressions a mix of curiosity and trepidation. The ominous title adds an element of suspense, suggesting the imminent danger of the crumbling cliff face. Skinningrove, a historic fishing village nestled on the North Sea coast, has long been known for its rugged beauty and harsh weather conditions. The 1970s were a particularly challenging time for the community, with the decline of the fishing industry and the closure of the local steelworks leaving many residents out of work and struggling to make ends meet. Despite the hardships, life went on, and children like Robin and Dale continued to explore the natural wonders of their surroundings. The photograph captures a moment of innocence and wonder, as the boys gaze out at the vast expanse of the sea before them, oblivious to the potential danger lurking beneath their feet. The image is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when life was simpler, yet also more uncertain. It invites us to reflect on the resilience of communities in the face of adversity and the importance of cherishing the simple joys of childhood. This photograph, taken in the 1970s, is a valuable historical record of a small coastal village and the experiences of its residents during a time of change and uncertainty. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, and a reminder of the power of photography to capture the essence of a place and its people.
