Loftus Group 4

A Loftus Zetland school photograph taken about 1902-1904. Lynda Robinson who loaned us the photograph tells us: “second row from the top left to right, school teacher then John Barret he would have been the oldest boy in the school. He was 3 or 4 years older than my father Charles Ditchburn born 1897 standing next to the headmaster on the right, whose name was Mr James Thomas Dann. Can you see anyone you recognise on this photograph please tell!

Norman Patton comments: “There are very few young ladies in this photograph! Would that be something to do with social attitudes at that time? Maybe there was a degree of segregation at the school or perhaps there was a subscription required and the girls were a low priority.”

Saltburn High School

This was main part of the school, the overflow went to Red Lodge on the front at Saltburn overlooking the sea. Norma Mellis Cox recalls: “I attended Saltburn High School 1949- 1952. Then we went to Redcar and became Cleveland Grammar School.” Linda Mary Treadgold asked: “Was is gender segregated in 1935 do you know? Doing research for a book. Thank you.” Katherine Broome advised: “It was the Girl’s High School. My mother attended it during the First World War and I did from September 1945 until July 1949. One of its most famous old girls was Dame Kitty Anderson who became Headmistress of North London Collegiate School; she was a contemporary of my mother.”

Grandad Bishop

William Bishop (grandfather of Lesley Rogers – who kindly sent us this image) is seated third from left on the front row. We understand he was initially an ironstone miner but then moved to the Dorman Long steel works, possibly at Warrenby. The image is believed to be from the late 1920s or early 1930s. Our desire is to identify the location of this image, as well as our usual who, when and why? Can anybody help?
