Robin Hood bay...primo giorno del mio viaggio del North Yorkshire. Il titolo sembra molto strano, ma ha un riferimento alla storia che vi racconto: L'effettiva origine del nome rimane un mistero! Non c'è un pezzo di prova che suggerisca che il folclore di Robin Hood della foresta di Sherwood abbia visitato la baia. È più probabile che il nome sia derivato da leggende di origine locale. Robin Hood era il nome di un antico spirito della foresta simile a Robin Goodfellow e l'uso del nome per un tale elfo o spirito era diffuso nel paese. Quello di cui siamo più certi è che nel 18° secolo, Robin Hood's Bay era, secondo quanto riferito, la comunità di contrabbandieri più trafficata della costa dello Yorkshire. Il suo isolamento naturale, protetto su tre lati da una brughiera paludosa, offriva un aiuto naturale a questa attività ben organizzata che, nonostante i suoi pericoli, doveva aver pagato meglio della pesca. Il contrabbando in mare è stato sostenuto da molti a terra che erano disposti a finanziare e trasportare il contrabbando. I pescatori, il clero degli agricoltori e la nobiltà erano tutti coinvolti. Seguirono feroci battaglie tra contrabbandieri e uomini delle accise, sia in mare che a terra, e si sapeva che le mogli della Baia versavano acqua bollente sugli uomini delle accise dalle finestre delle camere da letto negli stretti vicoli. I nascondigli, i buchi dei bulloni e i passaggi segreti abbondavano. Si dice che una balla di seta potesse passare dal basso del paese verso l'alto senza uscire dalle case. La minaccia degli uomini delle accise non era l'unico pericolo per Bayfolk. Tra la fine del 18° secolo e l'inizio del 19° secolo, le bande della stampa erano temute e odiate. Marinai e pescatori avrebbero dovuto essere esentati ma, in realtà, raramente lo erano. Una volta 'presse', le loro possibilità di tornare alle loro case non erano alte. Le donne del villaggio suonavano un tamburo per avvertire gli uomini che erano arrivate le bande della stampa e non era insolito che la banda della stampa venisse attaccata e picchiata. L'industria della pesca raggiunse il suo apice a metà del XIX secolo e nella baia esisteva una fiorente comunità. I cittadini amavano divertirsi in inverno e quasi ogni sera c'erano balli. Chiesa e cappella erano ben frequentate e funerali e matrimoni erano occasioni per una festa. Come altri villaggi di pescatori, Bay aveva il suo schema gansey. Dall'inizio del XIX secolo, Robin Hood's Bay iniziò ad attirare visitatori dall'esterno e questo è continuato fino ai giorni nostri. Buona visione.

Robin did not arrive.... o In the title you miss the final "o"! Try to put it ... who knows if it's the magic touch to get it there!... or there is a limit to the length of the title!
Interesting caption to testify how people lived centuries ago. Beautiful bay and shot! Hello. Magú
