“The Beach” or “Brake’s Point” at Riverhead Humbermouth c1900 A recent evaluation and comparison of the location using cadastral mapping, railway maps and photographs, along with the confirmation of several older residents of Humbermouth, leaves little doubt that this is a photograph of Brake’s Point, Riverhead. Although the cemetery is not visible, the white house is the one referred to in Meaney’s article Land-marks on the Humber as the double dwelling which “was erected by the first settlers of the area”. Special thanks to Jim Warford, Leslie A. Winsor and Linda White for their help with this undertaking.
