Another Terrace for sale

Morehead Terrace, Easington (across the Grinkle Lane/Whitby Road junction); this time, consisting of three cottages. Corner Cottage, sold for £460 and wow it had electric light. The next cottage also had electric light, but water was still obtained from the fountain across the road. The last on the terrace (no 1 Morehead Terrace) was the police house; occupied by Constable Clarkson, mains electric lighting but no running water. Michael Leyland updates with: “Morehead Terrace consisted of numbers 1, 2 and 3 on Whitby Road; and 3a, 4, 5, and 6 on Grinkle Lane.” Whilst Deborah Garbutt advises: “My grandparents lived in number 3, my dads aunty lived in number 2.” Whilst Justine enquires: “Was this ever referred to as Fountain Terrace back in 1913?”

Commondale School

Commondale School

A lovely Tom Watson postcard view of all the children outside Commondale School for this photograph; it would seem a lot of children for such a small village; but there was a thriving brickworks in the valley in the late 19th and early 20th century. What date do you think it was taken.

A lovely Tom Watson postcard loaned to us by Tina Dowey.

Saltburn Pier – February 1972

Saltburn pier on a lovely clear February day in 1972, just to prove the sun does shine even in the winter and could be mistaken for much later in the year.

Halfpenny Bridge

This view of the Halfpenny Bridge; again in February 1972, looking downstream.  The roof of the toll cottage can just be seen at the far end of the bridge. Alan Golden comments: “Lovely photos Owen of Saltburn. Do you have any photos of the Manor School on the north side of the bridge in the late 1960’s?”

The Ford

The ford at Hutton-le-Hole; I know it’s a quite a way from East Cleveland but we do have some lovely postcards of the North Yorkshire Moors and this is not as you would see Hutton-le-Hole today. Taken about 1900 and believed to be a Tom Watson postcard.

Ralphs Cross

Ralphs Cross

A well-known landmark on the North Yorkshire Moors. Many years ago if you passed this you would put a penny on the top for the travellers or tramps to take as they went past. This and other crosses on the moors were erected as markers for the monks as they travelled the moor from abbey to abbey.
