Folks were tough back then!
The building perched on the edge is Earl Grey's Bathing House. It was built in the early 19th century by the 2nd Earl Grey who was the Prime Minister responsible for the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832 and whose monument stands at the top of Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. He had 16 children and the house was built specifically for the family to go bathing. As well as the small beach you can see, there is also a tidal pool cut into the rock closer to the Bathing House.
No-one bathing today, but there was a fashion shoot going on just off shot!
And by the way, you can rent the bathing house if you can beat everyone else to it when dates are released - it sleeps 6 and prices start FROM £1350 per week, heaven knows what it costs during school holiday times, Christmas and New Year!
