SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

My great uncle (from Hunslet) was a keen amateur photographer, and took this slightly surreal picture whilst on a day trip to the seaside. I know it's not Leeds (obviously!), but does anyone know where it is? It was taken late 40s/early 50s, I think.

It looks like Filey, with Filey Brigg in the background to me. But there aren't many dstinguishing features visible.

Yeah, you could be right.I like the way the nun's wimples(?) look a bit like seagulls.

It looks like a monty python sketch to me!!     

It is Filey. If you look behind the nuns on the left you can see a cafe in the distance.If you click on this photo to make it full size, you'll see the same white cafe in the distance.http://www.panoramio.com/photo/7414447

Thanks, Cardiarms (and Tyke Bhoy.) It's definately Filey, then. Cheers.

They probably ARE seagulls Si - the blighters get everywhere I still bear the raised lump on my bald pate which I received one hot Summer day in King Street, Bridlington. We were innocently looking in the window of what was then Sydney Scarborough's large music shop when one of the winged thugs let a boulder fly from the top guttering - the missile with uncanny accuracy hit me smack in the middle of the skull with an audible thud which caused many folks to look at what was happening. The "friend" who was with me at the time never misses an opportunity after all these years to quip "Of course you're on good terms with the Bridlington sea birds aren't you ??" - he'll say it once too often one of these days !!

I'm also sure it is Filey.You don't see many nuns about nowadays do you? I'd imagine nuns paddling on the beach are even rarer!
