Paul in 1957. Photo courtesy of Rod Davis, bassist in the Quarrymen.

The photograph was taken in Filey, a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering restful 'get away from it all' holidays. A fishing town on the North East coast of England, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a seaside resort since Victorian days.

I think we can, then, assume this was taken in the summer of 1957, the same summer of the Quarrymen gigs on Rosebery Street and at the Woolton f&eacute;te.
