Since the creation of the outer city walls at the end of the 13th century, mills have adorned the Bruges city ramparts. They had an important economic function until well into the 19th century. Today there are still four copies on the Kruisvest.
The oldest Kruispoort, which you can see at the end of the street, was built with the second ramparts (1297-1304) and was replaced in 1366. Philip van Artevelde destroyed that gate when he took the city with the people of Ghent in 1382. Gate number three followed in 1400. Only the two heavy towers with their narrow passage and two octagonal turrets were preserved. Charles V, Napoleon, the German army, they all entered Bruges through this gate.
A Very Popular Place on the East Yorkshire Coast....Showing the Traditional Fishing Cobles ( See Previous Photo ) ...
Staithes is a picturesque fishing village hidden away between two cliffs, Cowbar nab and Penny nab on the North Yorkshire coast lying within the NY national park. Staithes is steeped in history going back to the time of the Vikings and beyond. Its name stems from the Viking word meaning "landing place"
Once Staithes was one of the largest fishing ports in the area with around 80 boats operating from its shores. Still today there are traditional yorkshire cobles which fish in the north sea. in It also boasts a long history of having a lifeboat which is stationed below Cowbar nab and was established in 1875.
Staithes was for a while the home of a young James Cook who was apprenticed to a local merchant. It is thought that his experience of living by the sea led him to become one of the most famous explorer and navigators in the world.

This is a traditional Yorkshire fishing vessel called a "Coble" that once fished out of Scarborough..It now lies in a semi-derelict state at South Ferriby on the banks of the River Humber,
Lugar de célebres tertulias literarias, el Carmen es escenario de románticos cuentos y leyendas. El Carmen de las Tres Estrellas, una antigua mansión morisca que ha ido desvencijándose con el paso de los años. Es una casa venida a menos. Pero una casa con mucha historia. Antonio Joaquín Afán de Rivera se dedicó a organizar cada domingo del año (excepto en los meses de invierno) animadas tertulias culturales en el Carmen de las Tres Estrellas.

They are no more!
During mid August 2015 the last evidence of a Coble Fishing Fleet in Filey disappeared when SH 232 "Margaret" and SD 404 "Beth A." were removed from their positions on the Coble Landing.

The coble is a type of open traditional fishing boat which developed on the North East coast of England.
The distinctive shape of the boat — flat-bottomed and high-bowed — arose to cope with the particular conditions prevalent in this area. Flat bottoms allowed launching from and landing upon shallow, sandy beaches; an advantage in this part of the coast where the wide bays and inlets provided little shelter from stormy weather. However, fishermen required high bows to sail in the dangerous North Sea and in particular to launch into the surf and to land on the beaches. The design contains relics of Norse influence, though in the main it shows Dutch origin.
This is "Wolf" a one time member of Withernseas inshore fishing fleet.she has been retained for prosperity. and is seen outside the boat compound ..at the resort.

To the left you can see a coble, a flat-bottomed open fishing boat designed so that it can launch and land on shallow, sandy beaches.
I've seen a few photos taken from this viewpoint so I've tried to make mine slightly more interesting by using a wide-angled lens to include the view of the beach and headland as well as the slipway. Having done a quick Google image search though I notice that I'm not the only one to have had this idea!

This is a replica sailing Coble and is seen entering Bridlington Harbour,..She was one of several taking part in the Bridlington Sailing Coble Festival event in the town.........A Coble is a type of open fishing boat and was familiar on the coasts of Northumberland and North & East Yorkshire.
A Leyland tractor on the Coble Landing, Filey.
Years ago Cobles were landed by hand or horse but more recently tractors were used.
Fishermen would not invest in new tractors as the salt water is highly corrosive and no manufacturer would guarantee a new tractor once it had entered the sea. Tyres were half filled with water to improve grip on the beach.

The Coble was a traditional fishing vessel built and sailed on the coast of East Yorkshire and were powered by sail, These two replicas "Free Spirit" and "Misomer" were built in 2014 and are seen in Bridlington Harbour,
Hull registered coble formerly H318, at North Landing, Flamborough. She was built in Whitby in 1975 (probably Clarkson's Boatyard??) as a netter and was de-registered in 2011.
Traditional fishing cobles, old and new, hauled up onto the beach in the secluded cove at North Landing on Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire.
A day out last week in North Yorkshire, finishing off at Flamborough, East Yorkshire. The day had been extremely wet at times, and the heavens opened again shortly after this shot, as we made our way back to the car; but it did provide some moody light.
Obviously no longer sea worthy, Springflower is a retired traditional Yorkshire Coble fishing boat, that is now a guardian overlooking the North Landing at Flamborough. The more traditional shot is from the rear corner looking down to the bay, which naturally I also shot, but I was looking for an alternative angle, in order to take advantage of the moody conditions.
This little known and rather inaccessible beach on the north shore of Flamborough Head on the Yorkshire coast is a haven for wildlife and is the furthest north that chalk coastal cliffs are found in the UK. Two traditional wooden fishing boats known as 'cobles' still operate from here supplying fresh crabs and lobsters to local and international markets.

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. The spelling Steeas is sometimes used to indicate the traditional local dialect pronunciation /stɪəz/.
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.
Staithes has numerous narrow streets and passageways; one of these, Dog Loup, with a width of just 18 inches (45.7 cm), is claimed to be the narrowest alley in the world. It was reported in 1997 that the Royal Mail were encouraging the occupants of Staithes to number their houses instead of relying on names. Whilst the regular postperson had no difficulty with the narrow streets and cottages, the relief postal staff were getting confused. Royal Mail also claimed it would aid efficiency by their postal machines which automatically read the addresses.
This is "Springflower" a Fishing "Coble" ( like the one seen on the waters edge ) seen in a sorry state at North Landing Flamborough,....."Cobles" were and still are the Traditional Fishing Vessels of The Yorkshire and Northumberland. Coasts,

Decaying coble at Flamborough nods to Yorkshire coast maritime heritage
Today you can just make out her faded name “Springflower” as she sits looking across the beach at North Landing in Flamborough.
She maybe old, but she’s a nod to the proud maritime fishing industry that has been at the heart of the Yorkshire coast for decades. She’s a coble, a traditional fishing boat with a flat bottom and high bow.
It seems an age since I last visited Staithes, on the North Yorkshire coast. This lovely fishing village is charming, I love the way that the houses snuggle together and the curve of the stream [better at high tide, about 6 hours away!] flowing out to the harbour and sea. Some time since I've done a panorama and I took 9 shots here, to show the whole village. A cold January afternoon but it was nice to be out with my camera. I so wanted to trim the foreground Ivy to improve my composition but didn't think the locals would approve!
Traditional clinker-built fishing boats have been used for hundreds of years on the East coast of England between the Rivers Humber and Tyne. Their high prows deal with rough seas and their flat bottoms enable beach-launching.
