 An image of Dale House, looking across the Ridge Lane ford in January 1983. Despite being taken in that early in the year the weather appears to be remarkably mild. No snow or a raging torrent through the culvert of this section of Ridge Lane as it commences rising out of Dale House. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson and Keith Bowers.  Close to Robin Hoods Bay; Raw evokes an image of a cold and unwelcoming placed. How unlike the delightful hamlet it actually is! Image courtesy of Joy e Dobson and Keith Bowers.  In 1932 The Office of Works (now English Heritage) carried out excavations and undertook repairs to consolidate the walls and grounds so they could be opened to the public. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson and Keith Bowers.  A lovely shot of Seymour Hill. What date would you put on this photograph? We think early 1900s. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson and Keith Bowers; an update of an image originally posted courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection.  This postcard image of Loftus War Memorial shortly after the opening ceremony in 1922. We can see the war memorial and the lions head pouring out water, with some of the older houses of Loftus in the background. Image courtesy of Margaret and Michael Garbutt.  Dating from period pre-1905, it is presumed this is the Cleveland Hunt meeting on the front lawn at Skelton Castle. On retirement in 1943, the Joint Masters, Mrs. M.W. Ringrose-Wharton and Captain Ringrose-Wharton gave the hounds to the country; becoming known as the Cleveland Hunt. Being a fox-hunting organisation they now no longer operate as such. Image courtesy of Peter Appleton.  Goathland with only the sheep to disturb the peace, soon to be transformed after filming began for the ”Heartbeat” T.V. series; as the fictional village of Aidensfield. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson and Keith Bowers.  Taken from the west we can clearly see the shop of C. J. Dodd & Co; the Presbytery in the background and the original shop with living accommodation above in the building now the Co-op. A hand tinted postcard produced by H. G. Glen & Co of Leeds pre-1913. Image courtesy of Margaret and Michael Garbutt.
North Road Loftus, looking uphill towards Seymour Hill on the way to North Terrace. A scene virtually unchanged from the present day. The shop on the right is now a private residence. But the new housing estate is beginning to appear at the top of the hill.  Carlin How square, with an early E type United bus picking up passengers, sometime in the 1920’s.
