Strike up the Band

The start of the parade for East Cleveland Ironstone Miners Celebration Demonstration Day, Loftus 1988. All the best parades have to have a band; this parade was led by North Skelton Silver Band.

Stepping out

I had forgotten how many different organisations had made banners and took part in the parade.  North Skelton Silver Band, leading the Revival banner, followed by Easington; were you there?

Carlin How and Others

More groups setting off from the Leisure Centre with their banners; communities, organisations and schools all joined in.

More Colourful Banners

I think the colourful banner in front of this group was from Rosecroft School, with Whitecliffe Primary from Carlin How further back.

Harry Dack on the March

Mrs. Hitchen and Mrs. Horness helped the children with Harry Dack School’s banner along West Road; followed by Warsett School. The parade went along West Road, up Westfield Terrace and Westfield Way to the football field. I believe there were stalls and activities up there but can’t remember any details. Can you tell us more?

Saltburn Victorians came in costume, followed by the Green Party and Carlin How village.
