The Entertainer

Wharton Arms Skelton. The entertainer in the middle of the young ladies looks familiar. What was the event, and assistance needed for names and year please. Ann Robinson tell us: ”I think the man in the middle is Donald Peers a singer from the 1950s. I used to play darts in Skippers in the 1960s. My mam was a good friend of Rhoda”.

Pint Please

Wharton Arms Skelton; the landlady pulls a pint, the old fashioned way. The Archive asked: “Do we have a name for the lady?” Owen Rooks came to the rescue with: “It’s Rhoda Skipper, probably dispensing the delectable brews which once emanated from J. Nimmo & Sons, Castle Eden Brewery.”
