Lady sat on the grass is possibly identified as Mrs Olive Cocks (of Carlin How). Image courtesy of Pat Bennison.  The paper party hats of two people, suggest the photograph is of an older generation’s event, the clergy man in the middle means a Church do. But who, what and where; we ask for help to identify and to date: Sheila Harris (nee Potts) tells us: ” The clergyman is the Rev. G. Simpson, Anglican Rector of Loftus. The lady standing on the right next to the tall white-haired man is Alice Cowen, my grandmother’s aunt. She lived at 3, Chapel Row, Loftus.” Jennifer Housam tells us: ”The lady fourth from the right, second row from the back, just peeping through is my grandma; Mary Jane McLean. I know my grandma used to talk about going to the ’Bright Hour’. She died age 92 in 1970.” Eric Trembath tells us: ”The gentleman bottom row on left in dark suit is my great-grandfather William Arthur Trembath; a Cornish tin miner born 1851 in St Buryan Cornwall, the lady second row third from left looking over his shoulder is his wife Martha Ann Stainthorpe, a Loftus lass who he married in 1897 at Guisborough. They had five children, I always remember my grandad telling me he was very strict and they always refer to him as pa.” Whilst Steven Henderson advises: “Alice Cowen is my great grandmother her son William (Bill) was my grandad.” Image courtesy of Pat Bennison and thanks to Sheila Harris, Jennifer Housam, Eric Trembath and Steven Henderson for the updates.  A gathering of people in Loftus, probably part of the Peace Celebrations in 1919. The crowd sport a plethora of head gear; flat caps, straw boaters, bonnets, and magnificent ladies hats. Only the small boys at the front of the photograph are bareheaded. Most people are paying attention to the speakers platform on the left of the image. Location in Loftus not known, but believed to have been in the Foulsyke area. Photograph courtesy Alan Richardson.  I don’t know where this photograph was taken maybe you can help and tell us where it is. I do know the girls here: on the wall is Anne Wilson and I think Marilyn Eddon. Standing in front are Ann Shaw and Pat Collins those are the maiden names of the girls. Image courtesy of Pat Bennison (nee Collins).  I think this maybe at the guide camp but not sure. Some of the people are; back row: Ann Dodsworth, Fred Shaw, Mrs Kathy Collins (Pat Collins mum), Fred Shaw (Ann Shaw’s dad), ??, Mrs Gladys Shaw . Front row: Ann Shaw, ??, Vera Shaw, Anne Wilson, Marilyn Eddon. Norman Patton tell us: ”This looks like the ‘Brickyard Gang’ at a Guides camp?” Can anybody name the remaining people, please. Image courtesy of Pat Bennison, also thanks to Norman Patton for the updates.  Photograph taken in Coronation Park, Loftus. So after 1937, possibly Congregational Chapel group?. Second from right kneeling Brenda Horness ? Any information with names, event are welcome. Image courtesy of Pat Bennison.  Form a line to use the swings! Obviously posed for the photographer at the event at the field. Dating from the 1950s, we welcome names and a better idea of the event. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  Believed to have been taken at some event at playing field at East Loftus, hence the large numbers of children at play. Help with names is needed. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  A series of images from the 1950s believed to have been an event held at the playing field at East Loftus. Can anybody recognise themselves or remember this event?
