 Once again the photograph is of Amy, Elsie and Ellen; taken about 1930 at the door of Boulby Barns.  Dated about 1930 this image of Amy Thurlow was believed to have been taken at the entrance to Easington Church. Kim Lindley has advised: “Possibly at the entrance to All Saints church, Easington.”  About 1930 at an unknown location (but possibly in the garden of Boulby Barns Farm) with Bessie on the left and the right Amy. Anne Hindmarsh asked: “Would Amy be Bessie Andersons’s sister they were both Thurlows?” Janet Wilson advised: “I think that the lady on the left is Bessie Anderson (nee Thurlow) who was Amy’s mother.”  Known as The Yorkshire Giant or Long Harry, Harry Cooper was born in East Cleveland, but having joined the circus emigrated to to America and he died in Canada in 1898. Image courtesy of Julie Tyrka (who can trace a family link to Harry Cooper) and the Evening Gazette.  We think that this family lived at East Loftus, all brothers and sisters, but do not know anything else about them. Can anyone help, please? Identified as: Charity ‘Chat’, Agnes, George and Arthur. The Archive has discovered that George died in 1949 at Aislaby, near Whitby Stephen Brown-Bolton advises: “This is interesting as I carry the surname Brown-Bolton, My grandfather had nine sons and daughters who all married and had children. My grandmothers surname had been Ingham. We are looking at York and Leeds as cities we live in.” Image courtesy of Keith Bowers, thanks for names to Noreen Brown-Bolton, also thanks to Stephen Brown-Bolton and Maurice Dower for the updates.

Mr Lol Trillo selling his home-made ice cream in Tees Street East Loftus, we believe the date to be 1947; Mrs Linton is buying the ice cream for her son David. Cones (or cornets as they were known then) cost 2d for a small cone and 6d for a large cone. This was of course in the days long before decimalisation. |
