@Flick I thought even in the 80s Cumbria had some really tourism oriented spots. I lived in York for a while and any place with tourism tends to be overwhelmed with retail jobs (although a lot of school leavers went to Terry's, Nestle Rowntree, or ABB coach works.) Robin Hood's Bay always shaded a little by Whitby and Scarborough (Leeds-sur-mer)
@Flick @sullybiker There was a hotel…can’t remember where off hand, but Highland… that bought another one just to house staff, because they could not find anywhere to live locally.
@sullybiker These days, a lot who can get out to places with better paid, less seasonal jobs (and more affordable housing: work from home, second homes and holiday lets have really made rural housing a nightmare for young and lower-paid people).
