That is what it says on the back of this photograph and Tyne House was at East Loftus; with the shop of Mr C Jones next to it. No I do not remember it, as it is dated 1906 and I am not quite that old. But after visiting today I think the shop is number 1 Tyne Street. Keith Bowers brought us an identical image in black & white which he believed to be from the 1890s. We realised that the two were identical, although the image on site was slightly better in condition. Image courtesy of Mrs Pauline Ovington, but many thanks to Keith Bowers for the alternative image.  This image of the Grade II listed bridge in Levenside Stokesley was built in the 17th or early 18th century and features in many images of the town. It came to the Archive as a glass plate negative, believed to date from the early 1900s. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  The Coulson family farmed at Bog House in the early 20th century, the farm and house now long disappeared under the waters of Scaling Dam; along with another farm. Jo Halliwell commented: “This was my fathers family, my dad was born here; not sure who is in the picture. Would love to see more pictures if any available.” Stephen Coulson advises: “We are the very same Coulsons, still in Newby which is where the cattle and everything else was moved to.” Angela Crosthwaite comments: “My relative Robert Featherstone lived here with his family in the late 1700s (I think!).” Whilst John asks: “Any one else got any photographs of the dam being built?” Image courtesy of Mrs Wilkinson via Keith Bowers, thanks to Jo Halliwell, Stephen Coulson and Angela Crosthwaite for the updates on the Bog House and the Coulson family. Can anybody assist with John’s request?  Showing five places in Loftus, no name to say who published it, can you tell us the publisher or date this postcard please?  The Olympic torch bearer as he approached Carlin How from Brotton; and yes I know it isn’t old but it will be one day and this may never happen again the torch coming through our area. Can you name the bearer or the date please? Image courtesy of Ray Brown.
Staithes High Street in the early 20th century. a lovely photograph showing the narrow street to perfection and the ladies in their Staithes (or Steers as locals know it) bonnets, even if you go to Staithes now you never seem to see the bonnets so traditional and popular with the fisher women of Staithes.  Reliable Series postcard (dating from pre-1905) view seemingly taken from the Halfpenny Bridge, despite the title applied to the postcard as “View from the Viaduct”. Any view from the viaduct would not have been able to see as far as the coast! Image courtesy of Kim Whaley.  Another Frith’s postcard, tinted again; showing a hill uncluttered with trees and long before the building of the expanse of Guisborough as seen today. Image courtesy of Kim Whaley.  This Wrench Series postcard view of the Priory is again beautifully tinted and is believed to date from the early 20th Century. Image courtesy of Kim Whaley. |
