It looks like Robin Hood Bay in North Yorkshire to me
Sun would have to be coming from the North, Robin Hood only has/has buildings by the sand where the quay is, sands aren't that good and brickwork is a completely different style.

DD, have you followed the railways ? My understanding was that many went by rail from Liverpool Limestreet when evacuated but that could be wrong information.
You need one of these. Pinz probably has a few, amongst his crap.

Maybe we are getting our wires crossed. You say this photo was probably in Wales, as they were evacuated there. You were also looking for places they could have evacuated to. Now you say you doubt this woman would have fallen into the category of any evacuation programme. ??
So, I'm pretty confused.
They did evacuate those with disabilities too.
Looking at the woman ,she could have some sort of a uniform on, as she is wearing a dress, rather than skirt and blouse. The tights and shoes could also be part of a uniform, and that tripod made up of spades and walking sticks, could be related.

When I referred to the walking sticks, it was a way of suggesting she could have been a live in nurse for someone.
Sorry, I didn't explain that very well.

I see where you are coming from with Meols - when the sea wall was built a lot of beach was reclaimed, the orginal beach went further inland.
There was a building called Sandheys which was built on an "island" in the middle of the beach I think - this is now where Greenhays Road is.
But, no, it can't be Meols - the density of buildings (some are even three storey) doesn't tie up.
I'm really struggling to find anywhere in the UK with this density of buildings direct onto the beach (looking at 1911, 1950 and modern maps), most are usually either the single string of houses along the coast or have buildings further apart. This seems to be at least three deep inland

@granny This is highly embarrassing - all along I remember being on sands when I was young with woooden steps down to the beach - I completely forgot that I spent time in the Isle of Man (my families homeland) - Port Erin looks very promising.
