 Easington Hall Farm 207 acres, it stated in the catalogue that this was a ”Lady Day tenancy’ of £217 per annum. Lady Day being the 25th March. Bob Doe tells us: ”Lady Day is the Christian festival (25th March) of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary”. Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton (from catalogue of the dispersal sale of Grinkle Park estate), thanks to Bob Doe for advice regarding Lady Day.  Home Farm House or Grinkle Lodge again for sale in 1946 bringing the princely sum of £2,700 Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton; from the dispersal sale catalogue.  Snipe House, described in the catalogue loaned to us by Mrs Waton, as being built of ’mellowed stone’ with slate roof. Accomodation: 3 bedrooms and bathroom, sitting room, living room with range having a boiler at the back for heating the hot water. Gun room and pantry with sink, E.C. if you don’t know what an E.C. is then ask an older member of the family. Alan Found Tells us: ”Snipe House is still used by Grinkle Estates as a gamekeeper’s house”. Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton, thanks to Alan Found for that update.  Once again taken from the sale catalogue; the lake was included with the sale of Grinkle Park. Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton.  A rather nice view of the hotel as you go up the driveway. Image from the sale catalogue courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton.  Too late to buy I’m afraid as this sale being the dispersal of the Grinkle Park Estate was in 1946. I wonder how much was paid for it?

Yes a Loftus view from an unusual place; a Skilbeck postcard view over the field now occupied by the Cromwell Avenue estate, you can see the Town Hall and the church in the background.  A lovely Skilbeck postcard showing a very early Easington; the girls look very smart in their aprons. David Bertram advises: “Shows Morehead Terrace looking along Whitby Road towards Staithes; the former Tiger Inn in the background.“  The sanctuary in Easington church.  Once again Easington church; from an Air photograph by Jack Braithwaite (Leeds) entitles ”Parish Church Easington (Loftus)”. Robin Lidster comments: “I was interested to see this aerial photograph by Jack Braithwaite – I am trying to find out information about him – as I have two aerial view postcards of Robin Hood’s Bay by him.” Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton, thanks to Robin Lidster for the comment. |
