Can You Help to name the Young Ladies

We have had a request for assistance in naming people in the image, Can anybody assist?

Elaine Meadows (nee Tyerman) tells us: “As you look at the picture taken at Runswick Bay in the 1950’s the first 2 children from the left hand side are unknown, (possible from Hinderwell or Runswick Bay); then my cousins Janet and Christine (Chris) Pearson as they were then aged 5 – 6 years. They lived Browns Terrace at Hinderwell, and Chris still lives at Hinderwell. 2 of 4 children of Cyril and Hilda Pearson (nee Tyerman)….their other two siblings are not on picture. We have asked all the family if they know the other 2 girls….and nobody knows them…they are not family members. The picture was sent from Canada saying on the back your Cousins from Hinderwell… as I said the two on the right are…..the other two are definately not Canadians.”

If you can assist please send via the comments facility and we will pass on to Elaine. Many thanks.

Runswick Bay (On the Look Out)

Three Runswick fishermen, scan the sea in this posed Phoenix Series view post marked 10th January 1906. Wearing their best “Ganseys”, the Runswick Bay Pattern is evident; each fishing village on the Yorkshire coast had it’s own pattern. The owners initials were picked out on the gansey this with the pattern so identifying the body of a drowned fisherman to his village. An occupational hazard on this coast. Interestingly the photographer must have been well aware of his surroundings; as this area of Runswick Bay is still known as ‘The Lookout’.

A Poor Resemblance

The sender of this 1902 dated postcard obviously felt the image did not do justice to Runswick’s charms!

The Brave Runswick Fishermen’s Wives

A John Thomas Ross (of Whitby) postcard shows the fishermen’s wives of Runswick who launched the life boat to rescue their husbands on 12th April 1911.

Runswick and the Thatched Cottage

A delightful view of Runswick Bay with the famous thatched cottage clearly to be seen. Clearly hand tinted and an early view long before sea walls and boulder protections from the encroaching waves.

Runswick in the Sunshine

People are obviously enjoying the beach in this post 1970’s this colour postcard view, in which the solid sea defence wall can be clearly seen.

Runswick from the Beach

Another postcard view of Runswick showing the old slipway from the beach, no tractors for pulling in those days. Man power (or in emergencies women power) was the most common and cheapest power source.
