TL....The site of the former Hudleston Arms Hotel, latterly renamed as The Bay Hotel and now Winslow Court, a sympathetic new-build (2006) apartment block overlooking Cullercoats Bay.
TR....A detail from Inside the Bar currently held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Completed in 1883 after his return to America from sketches made in Cullercoats.
BL....Winslow Homer shown on the 'List of Visitors for the Season in Tynemouth' in The Shields Daily Gazette, 20th August 1881 (thank you British Newspaper Archive)
BR....The Blue Plaque thingy.....er, obviously......
