Flamborough Village Flamborough Manor     Flamborough village is thought to have been colonized over 1,100 years ago by Scandinavians, and was referred to as "Fleneburg" in the Domesday Book (1086). Before this, there was also a Roman presence, which is evidenced by Beacon Hill, once the site of a Roman signal station. Cut off by the enormous defensive earthwork, erroneously called Dane's Dyke, it still, to this day, has a distinctive character. Fishing was first recorded in the 13th century, when about nine boats fished the seas off the Head. By the 1890s, some eighty "cobles" were registered. Now, although some fishing is still carried on, the village relies to a greater extent on tourism. However, as the old postcards on this page demonstrate, Flamborough has always been a popular destination. Below is an Edwardian postcard showing the village from Croft's Hill. Shown below are various postcards of Flamborough, generally dating from the period 1900 to 1914. The postcards were originally printed in black and white, but have been coloured and enhanced. Many of the views shown have changed little to this day. A later view showing the Post Office at left and newsagents at right, both of which still operate from the same buildings. The village High Street again has changed little. he view down West Street: the cottage in the centre still exists, though it has lost its thatched roof. The tree was only felled in recent years when it became unsafe. The remains of "Flamborough Castle". Again, the pond has now disappeared. Another Edwardian postcard showing the village from Croft's Hill. An Edwardian postcard, showing Tower Street, looking towards the Manor House The Seabirds pub on the right still exists (and is recommended); however, the cottage in the left foreground was demolished to allow for road widening.
