The Cafe Royal was originally built as a farmhouse and the small building stored the rocket lines and other equipment used for saving life at sea. In  the 1970's and 80s it was in use as a police station. This busy beach scene was photographed in 1913.

Taken in 1888 Pattison's caption on this image was 'Looking north from Mrs Burton's shop.' Her shop was situated on the Snook. The bathing machines are lined up on the beach.

Note the barometer to the front of the image and one of the boys on the road carrying a cello.
