The park has the same pattern of flower beds today.... but the boats hauled up on the grass have all gone.

Cullercoats is the 'home' of the self-righting lifeboat. After two consecutive local losses around 1848, the Duke of Northumberland initiated a competition for the design of a self-righting boat and financed the building of 'Percy', that was delivered in 1852



The life boat station can be seen in EPW019764 on the north side of the bay.

An appropriate picture for St. George's Day.

On the beach below the church the old wooden lifeguard boats were chained to a post and made a great shelter on chilly evenings when I was a little child. Later on working as a lifeguard in the late 70s I loved rowing out to the island, we used to surf them in to shore and managed a few very hairy capsizes in huge stormy seas. I think the boats dated to the late 20s from what I was told at the time.
