Not many will have seen Hutton Street, as today it is no longer there! After the shops closed, the street was demolished and all that remains is the lower kerb at the side of the road.

 An aerial photograph of the original Loftus Rectory shows just how big a house it is; a good big family house for the Rector of the parish. It features in postcard views else where on the Archive.  An imposing building, Loftus Rectory was easier to see before the Arlington Estate was built; a new rectory was built below the old one (in the late 1970’s). The present day rectory was purchased as an already built house on Micklow Lane, on the site of the Women’s Institute Hall. Image from a T. C. Booth glass negative and thanks to Steven Gale for the update information.  I want to know who the little girl is with the big hat! An image before the iron horse this one, no metalled roads.

The inevitable onset of “urban decay” sets in after the closure of the mine at Liverton Mines and we can see the beginning of its destruction. The view was taken from the vantage point of the shale heaps. Image courtesy of Raymond Brown.  A view looking down the valley towards Skinningrove, with the works on the skyline at the left. Taken from the shale heaps, with the pylon base clearly visible.  This is a snow scene that rivals the Matterhorn views so beloved of ski holiday advertisements except that these are the shale tips of Liverton Mines! The strange structure in front of them is the massive foundations for a pylon of the aerial ropeway that caused the huge cone in the background. I seem to remember a fatality here involving a cycle or a motor cycle which instigated the removal of this well-known landmark? Image courtesy of Ted Morgan (via Eric Johnson).  Hmmmm….we felt we should know this one – and wondered where it was! We thought it a bit unfair to ask you to identify the person in the doorway. Chris Martin didn’t take long to crack the first part of my little puzzle, spotting the Land Rover outside the garage doors and the Raleigh Chopper under the window, so that probably does date it to the 1970s. Now known to be the house on Boulby road. Image courtesy of Eric Johnson, thanks to Chris Martin for the update.  I’m not having the best of nights tonight! I don’t think the photographer was either, tilting the picture! Another of those unknown images – can anybody enlighten us?
