This is the first book to be published that takes a 'then and now' view of the fourteen lifeboat stations on the north east coast between Sunderland and the Humber estuary. This lavishly illustrated book traces some of the many ways in which the lifeboat stations at Sunderland, Seaham, Hartlepool, Redcar, Staithes and Runswick Bay, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough, Flamborough, Filey, Bridlington, Withernsea and Spurn Point have changed over the years. Through a wonderful selection of images, alongside detailed captions, this book will delight everyone interested in the history of the lifeboat stations across these coastal towns and villages. Both residents and visitors alike will enjoy a nostalgic journey through the past to show the changing face of lifeboat stations. Proceeds from the book will be donated to RNLI, to help them continue the fantastic work they do both now and in the future.
