Sea Scouts, in a photograph taken on the beach at Skinningrove (recognisable by the jetty in the background), but who are they and what date was it, can anyone help? M. H. Wan suggests: “The Sea Scouts are wearing the uniform of pre-World War I era; so this should be a pre-1920 photograph.” Many thanks to M. H. Wan for the update and possible dating.
The Archive had received several copies of CD Roms of local images, each of which contained this image; already marked with the names of the participants; they were Scouts from 1st Carlin How Boy Scout Troop. The participants (back row): T. Andrews, J. Fawcett (St John’s Ambulance Brigade?), A. Steggar. Front row: Charlie Sommers, C. Wood, W. Goldby. The Archive still asks where was the photograph taken? Since then the Archive has been advised by Derick Pearson: “Yes I have an unmarked copy as this was from the CD Rom I compiled. I put both on it. I will submit an unnamed one. Would have done this in the first place had it not been placed on site by someone else.” Image courtesy of Stan Ward was originally from a collection originally produced as part of ‘Carlin How in Times Past’ in the 1980’s; compiled by Derick Pearson. The present image courtesy of Carlin How Community Centre.
Loftus Cricket Club 1st XI pictured at Marton in 1939, having won the Cleveland Challenge Cup (solid silver); it is still played for today. Ian Proctor tells us: ”The large trophy is the Cleveland Cup which was first played for in 1885 and was played as a two innings match and was won by Norton. The other trophy is the Kerridge Cup and was first played for in 1911 and was won by Liverton Mines. Both cups are still played for today.” Sally Abra (nee King) tells us: ”The tall gentleman in the striped jacket on the end of the back row right hand side, is my father Ronald Richard King (son of Dick King often referee and husband to Dorothy nee Walton Winn). “Ron” emigrated to Australia with daughter Sally in 1975, to live with his son Richard; Ron passed away in 1977.” Thanks to John Preston and Sally Abra (who also gave us correction details of Ron) for updates and dates, also Ian Proctor (Historian of Cleveland Cricket League) for additional information.

This proud trio pose; smiling broadly, with an array of trophies, whilst receiving another – I was never that fit! They are: Steve Trillo, Colin Codling, Colin Fenby and the man in the suit is Ernie Cockburn. They were Captains at Loftus Cricket Club, and we asked: ”but what was the occasion and when?” Ken Fawcett told us: ”The photograph was taken at the end of season presentation evening. I think the year was 1978 and the venue was Rushpool Hall. Colin Fenby was A team captain and we were Champions of the Cleveland and Teesside league for the second successive year. The following year we made it three in succession.” Thanks to Mark Smithies and Ken Fawcett for information.

Let me see – I guess the 1920’s, women had the vote and the whole roller-coaster of emancipation begins it’s journey. Loftus Ladies Cricket Club enjoys the limelight – one of the first male-only bastions to fall! The Archive is also now aware that the image is from a photograph produced by H. W. Archer of Loftus produced in 1920. Back row: Ron Slater (Loftus Market Place Chemist), Hilda Sowerby (School teacher later became Mrs Lines), Miss Bothroyd, ??, Miss Cooper, D. Copeman (Loftus Post Office). Front row: ??, ??, ??, Zena Rowland, ??, ??. Can anyone identify these ground-breaking women or their male coaches? Thanks to Eric Johnson, Loftus Town Crier and Peter Maddison for updates on names.
Originally posted this image was listed as Loftus Scouts, but we now know they were Wolf Cubs! This following a comment by Malcolm Covell: “Firstly they aren’t Scouts they are Cubs. I’m 1st left on back row and I was only about 8 or 9 at the time, next to me is Brian Lightfoot ( 2 years younger). Next to him is my brother Dennis Covell (as Sixer = two stripes), he would be about 10; he was born 1947, so it puts the photograph at 1957/58. I can vaguely remember this photo being taken I think there was some sort of big Jamboree that year. Michael Jones is in front of me to the left.” Back row: Malcolm Covell, Brian Lightfoot, Dennis Covell, ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? . Third row: Michael Jones, ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? . Second row: ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? . Front row: ?? , ?? , ?? , ?? .

Another photograph from the jubilee brochure of Carlin How Working Men’s Club, this time taken on the bowling green.

Group on right: first left standing is Bill Harrison (nicknamed Mellon or Lemon); far right Mr Husband. Mrs Bob Butterworth and ? Blenkey sat on seat.” Thanks to Derick Pearson for names update.
Loftus Scouts – and yes it is Loftus Cricket Club! – known to have been taken in the late 1930’s, but what was the occasion? We have been given two names by Eric Johnson, but can anybody name any more or assist with any information? Image courtesy of Eric Johnson. |
