Here are my postcards of Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire covering the seaside, beach and promenade areas with some comments about the scenes. Many of these cards are postmarked as June, July or August pointing to the popularity of Cleethorpes as a summer holiday resort. Some images were in use over many years so dating the scene can be difficult.
