Staithes

2. Staithes is a seaside village in the Scarborough Borough of
North Yorkshire, England.
Easington and Roxby Becks, two brooks that run into Staithes
Beck, form the border between the Borough of Scarborough and
Redcar and Cleveland.
Formerly one of the many fishing centres in England, Staithes
is now largely a tourist destination within the North York Moors
National Park.

3. History
The name Staithes derives from Old English and means
'Landing-Place'. It has been suggested that it is so named after being
the port for the nearby Seaton Hall and Hinderwell.
At the turn of the 20th century, there were 80 full-time fishing
boats putting out from Staithes. A hundred years later there are still a
few part-time fisher men. There is a long tradition of using the coble (a
traditional fishing vessel) in Staithes.

4. Features
The permanent population of the village has dwindled due to
more than half of the houses being second homes owned by
outsiders from cities such as Leeds and York and further afield.
Even though fewer than half of the houses in the village are
occupied by local people, the traditions of the village have not yet
died; many of the local women still buy Staithes bonnets from the
sole bonnet maker, and the Staithes Fisher Men's Choir is still going
strong.
There is active local participation in the local RNLI Lifeboat crew.
Locally, the name was traditionally pronounced "Steers".

5. There is a local pub crawl known as the "Roxby Run". This
starts at the "Fox and Hounds" in the nearby village of Dalehouse then
goes to Staithes Athletic Club, the "Captain Cook Inn", the "Black
Lion" (now closed) the "Royal George" before finishing at the "Cod
and Lobster" on the harbour.

6. Art
The village was home to a group of twenty to thirty artists
known as the "Staithes group" or the "Northern Impressionists." The
group contained renowned artists such as Edward E. Anderson, Joseph
R. Bagshawe, Thomas Barrett and James W. Booth and was inspired by
other impressionists such as Monet and Cézanne and Renoir.
Dame Laura Knight became the most famous member of the
Staithes Group; she and her husband and fellow painter Harold Knight
kept a studio in the village.

7. To celebrate this history, Staithes held a festival of arts and
heritage in 2012.
Many houses and other properties opened their doors to the
public as pop-up galleries, creating a trail through the village. In
addition, events celebrating the heritage of Staithes were held.
Such was the success and interest in the festival, the villagers
intend to make this an annual event.
