Evening at Cleethorpes.

 Popcorn & I had a walk along Cleethorpes Promenade back in August 2023 and I took a few photo's as the light began to fade.

This amusement arcade is situated at the entrance to Cleethorpes pier.

Called "The Mint", possibly because it earns it's owners lots of money?

Folk coming away from the pier after a fish & Chip supper.


This is the busiest part of Cleethorpes seafront with lots of arcades, shops & amusements.

We met a couple of characters walking along.

I asked what they were doing, maybe promoting something?  But no, they're just two
local people who like to dress up and make people feel happy! 

Whipped ice cream at this shop.

I didn't go into any arcades but took a few pics to give a flavour of what's inside.

I like to include people in my photo's but I think this young lad spotted me.


A view showing how close to the beach the amusements are.

Heading back to the Pier area.

The Mermaid CafĂ© at the railway station, built in the Victorian days. 

A few hundred yards from the seafront is the old "Empire Theatre", now another place
of entertainments and arcade amusements.  I remember going to summer variety shows
here when I was a youngster.

The illuminations along the promenade.  These are modern LED versions of what we had
for many years.

One Misty, Moisty Morning.

 Inspired by the song of the same name by Steeleye Span, I took these photo's on a cold, foggy morning in February.

The first few pics taken at Haverstoe Park in Cleethorpes.


In the car park at the start of our walk.


Kids play area.


Quite few dogs out for walks.

The next few pics where taken the same morning, along South Promenade, Cleethorpes.




Mainly Bed & Breakfast guest house along here plus some apartment blocks.

The tide was in, a couple enjoying a quiet walk.



Even on a cold February there were some hardy souls making sand castles.
Of course, they were residents, we're a hardy lot on the east coast!

Signs of the times.

 A few photo's of signs seen when out on a walk with Popcorn.

No narrative with these pics, I'll let the signs tell their own story.

A few Misc. Scenes & Views.

 Some photo's taken on a recent walk with popcorn.

A lone tree I've often seen in this field.


I see lots of horse riders on our walks.

Spring Daffodils all along the side of the road.


This old barn suffered from a fire some years ago but is still standing.

Someone screwed this coffee jar lid to the branch as a bird feeder.

Lichen & moss, a sure sign of clean, pollution free air quality. 


Really old trees in this paddock.

A rabbit came to see us.

Sheep in Beesby valley.

Also, cattle and a few horses.


Beesby Top, way in the distance is the Humber Estuary.

Beesby Top Farm.




Shetland Ponies.

The view back towards Beesby Top.

Happy Easter.
