 A view showing the end of Dunsley Lane, viewing Sandsend front and Kettleness point. The block of land encompassing the railway engine shed and adjacent parking (has nowadays been replaced with stone built houses), is well seperated from the road to Whitby by substantial wooden board fencing. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This view is of East Row with the white painted Hart Inn in the centre of the image. St Mary’s Church and Whitby Abbey can be seen in the far background. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  The point is in the background; of greater interest is the range of buildings on the left. This is the Sandsend Alum house, long since demolished to be replaced by a car park and range of garages huddled under the former railway banking. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This is the first in a series of twelve postcards of Sandsend from early in the 20th century. This view shows an area much changed today, some of the buildings in the centre have long gone to be replaced with a gravelled parking area. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  Five views of Sandsend with the railway is still in use, this dates the postcard to before 1958. Postcard courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  This Sandsend postcard view was taken after the tower was rebuilt on Lythe church 1911. The buildings to be seen include the chimney of the old alum works which are still intact. Sadly now gone and a loss to industrial archeology. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  The sea wall and in the background is Sandsend Ness. The building in this postcard is part of the old alum works it was cleared away to provide a car park. A Judges postcard courtesy Maurice Grayson.  Sandsend; a late 1960s or early 1970s view. The old railway track in front of the former station shows plenty of vegetation growth. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  Lythe Bank top after a winter storm before 1910; the church of St Oswald is seen without the later spire on top of the tower. The spire was added as part of the adaptions by Sir Walter Tapper in 1910. Image courtesy of Alan Richardson.  Firing the Stiddy at Lythe in 1948. Blacksmith Will Dobson is setting light to gunpowder on the anvil to celebrate a local event. Usually connected with the Normanby family, quite often a birthday. John Jackson and his son Leonard are also in the photograph. Linda Stainthorpe (nee Jackson) commented: “Have just been looking through your pictures and came across the one of Firing the Stiddy at Lythe, just to say it was lovely to see this one as my dad (Lennard) and my grandad (John) Jackson are both in it. Thank you very much.” Image courtesy of Alan Richardson and many thanks to Linda Stainthorpe for the comment. |
