Saved for Posterity?

Late afternoon sunshine lighting up the east side with this golden glow is a common sight in Whitby, but beautiful none the less..

 

Unfortunately, a number of the brightly painted cottages, upper middle, have been demolished since this photo was taken. The incessant rain of recent months eroded the foundations causing the dwellings to slip away..A rapid response from the local authorities soon had demolition men using special equipment to remove the fabric of the buildings, brick by brick! Now there is a yawning gap.
