CÚL OF THE ROCK
The two-storey house named Alberta partly obscures some
of the cottages of the Bawn and there is a cluster of perhaps
eight cottages further north along the beach. All the cottages
appear to be white-washed. A long dark-coloured skiff straddles
the dried wrack line on the beach, just below the stone-built store
from the previous photograph which has already become the
RNLI Lifeboat House – check out the stone coping and the
granite orbs atop the gables. The photo was taken some time
after midday; the walls of both the Lifeboat House and that of
Alberta facing the sea are in shadow and the gables facing south
are sunlit. It seems to me that this was a trial photograph, taken
perhaps a day before the others.
The next photo in the sequence that is still available is
numbered clearly 3299.W.L. and it also is reproduced in Derek’s
1993 book. It is to be found on page 103, the bottom one of two
photos.
