The Archive hasn’t any further details about this picture. Some members of the cast are wearing pirate costumes, but don’t know what the production was or when it took place. Can anyone help, please? Chris Bailes tells the Archive: “This stage was in the Arlington Chapel schoolroom”. Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards and many thanks to Chris Bailes for the update.
The Archive has no information about this picture. We think it is the same stage as that in the previous one. There are young children in this production. Could they be members of the Sunday School? Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards.  A nice photograph of a group gathering; in 1910 in the Market Place, Loftus. However it is known for certain that there are at least 5 people from Carlin How on the photograph, so it may have been a mixed Chapel or church outing. Back row: Leslie Nicholson (magistrate), Fred Nicholson, ??, G. T. Goodwill. Third row: ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, Mrs Goodwill, ??, Margaret Elizabeth Hall (nee Ord), ??, Charles Hall. Second row: ??, ??, ??, ??, Clara Nicholson (nee Hall), ??, ??, ??. Front row: Lesley Nicholson. Neil Suckling confirmed: “Three of the young women are my great aunts; Mary Suckling (Murray), Hannah Suckling and Lydia Suckling (nee Donnelly) and possibly my grandad Andrew Suckling.” George Tremain added: “The man first on the right is Charles Hall of Front Street, Carlin How. His wife Margaret Elizabeth Ord is third from the left on the same row. Second from the left on the back row is Fred Nicholson, his wife Clara (Hall) Nicholson is fourth from the right on the second row. Their son Lesley is first on the left on the front row.” Whilst Tony Nicholson advised: “Yes, Fred Nicholson is on the back row at the far left, with a large white hat.” Rita Jury asked: “Hi I’m interested in the name- nee Donnely – could the spelling have changed my mother was Donnelly of Coronation Street born in 1922 – my grandmothers maiden name was Astle.” Image courtesy of Carlin How Community Centre, names courtesy of a CD compiled by Derick Pearson; thanks to Neil Suckling, George Tremain and Tony Nicholson for the updates on this photograph.  Orininally posted by the Archive as Robert Shaw with his horse and cart pictured in Moorsholm, date as yet unknown but possibly late 1930s, but the Archive awaited confirmation of this fact. The cottage further back down the street has long since been redeveloped and was the blacksmith’s shop. Ann Johnson adds: “I remember Harry Shaw he used to come to Moorsholm with his horse and cart.” Since then assistance has been provided by Stewart Ramsdale with: “This is Moorsholm, but it is of Seth Shaw with his block cart in 1904”. Image courtesy of Janet Grey, additional information via Ancestry and Ann Johnson; thanks to Stewart Ramsdale for the identification.  We think that this family lived at East Loftus, all brothers and sisters, but do not know anything else about them. Can anyone help, please? Identified as: Charity ‘Chat’, Agnes, George and Arthur. The Archive has discovered that George died in 1949 at Aislaby, near Whitby Stephen Brown-Bolton advises: “This is interesting as I carry the surname Brown-Bolton, My grandfather had nine sons and daughters who all married and had children. My grandmothers surname had been Ingham. We are looking at York and Leeds as cities we live in.” Image courtesy of Keith Bowers, thanks for names to Noreen Brown-Bolton, also thanks to Stephen Brown-Bolton and Maurice Dower for the updates.

Mr Lol Trillo selling his home-made ice cream in Tees Street East Loftus, we believe the date to be 1947; Mrs Linton is buying the ice cream for her son David. Cones (or cornets as they were known then) cost 2d for a small cone and 6d for a large cone. This was of course in the days long before decimalisation.  When first posted on the Archive the title of the photograph was already given, but the rest was a mystery. Alan Franks advised : “This is a photograph of 1st St Helens (Liverton Mines) Troop Baden Powell Boy Scouts Football Team 1919-1920. My dad George Franks is the small lad 3rd from right, he would be 12 or 13 years old at this time. I have no further information.” Derick Pearson assisted with: “Alf Watts is first left on the photograph. He worked in the Stockyard at Skinningrove on the side press and 12 road saw as well as other areas.” Image courtesy of Carlin How Community Centre and Mike Holliday, thanks to Alan Franks and Derick Pearson for the updates. |
