GIBSONS

The picturesque fishing village of Crail is situated on the east coast of Scotland, in the county of Fife. The curved breakwater, providing shelter from the Forth, dates back to the 16th century.

The straight west pier was built by Robert Stevenson in 1826. Stevenson was a lighthouse engineer, whose many noteworthy achievements were somewhat overshadowed by his grandson Robert Louis Stevenson of literary fame.

Crail is home to Fife's crab and lobster fleet, and subject to tide and weather, sea-fresh shellfish can be bought by visitors from the harbour side.

Early morning on a bright day in the summer of 1957, against a backdrop on Conway Castle and the estuary of the River Conway, Britannia class 4-6-2 No. 70045, soon to be named Lord Rowallan, coasts into Llandudno Junction station with an express from Holyhead to London. On an adjacent track, Ivatt class 2-6-0 No. 46447 departs for Llandudno Town to collect the daily pick-up freight. The Britannia class Pacifics were introduced by British Railways in January 1951. Altogether fifty-five were built, the last appearing in 1954. They had a comparatively short working life, the first being withdrawn in favour of diesel in June 1965. Two examples are preserved, Nos. 70000 Britannia and 70013 Oliver Cromwell.

It is late afternoon in Robin Hood's Bay, which means it's time to head back home and change for tea. The fishermen may be done for the day, but this doesn't stop the little ones from catching crabs in the shallow waters.

Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village in North Yorkshire, whose name derives from the English legend of Robin Hood. After encountering French pirates, who came to pillage the fisherman's boats and the northeast coast, Robin Hood forced the pirates to surrender and returned the loot to the poor people of Robin Hood's Bay Village.

Terry Harrison is one of the most popular artists in the Gibsons range and is renowned for his beautiful harbour scene paintings. Robin Hood' s Bay is a 1000 piece puzzle that is made from 100% recycled card of the highest quality.
