 I’ve sliced up the image into three sections, I can’t enhance the detail because it’s a textured photograph unfortunately. Image courtesy of Marian Toulson.  The Mine Manager and various officials of Lumpsey Pit. Standing: ??, William Stephens, ??, ??, Mr Ralph Clough Jnr (son of Mr Clough Lumpsey Mine Engineer – 1911 Census lists Ralph as an Enginewright). Seated: Mr. Robert Clough (Engineer), Mr. Dixon (Manager), ??. Simon Chapman advises us: ” Mr Stephens is the chap standing at the left with the light-coloured cap and the well-starched collar. The chap standing at the right with the bowler hat and the bushy moustache I think was Mr Clough, son of the engineer sitting front left.” Rod Umpleby tells us: ”William Stephens who was shown previously in the photograph 1906 of the closure of Huntcliffe Mine. He was described as later cashier at Lumsey Mine. He was my great-great uncle and the 1911 census gave his occupation as mines treasurer.” Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection, thanks to Simon Chapman and Rod Umpleby for these updates and can anybody assist with any more names and information?  A further image of workmen at Lumpsey Mine, again in 1910, but can you name any of the men?  The end of a shift at Lumpsey Mine, again about 1910; at least that is what I am presuming. Some of the men have logs under their arms these would be the off cuts from the pit props. Anyone recognise any of the men in this photograph?  Not the most charming group of men we have ever seen and believed to be some of the work force of Lumpsey Mine, we presume that the man in the middle is a blacksmith? Please correct us if we are wrong. We think the blacksmith is James Kennedy on the photograph, he was recorded as a Blacksmith in 1911, whilst his brother John was listed as a Platelayer Underground. The container held by the miner on the right was for carrying water or cold tea and was known as a ‘Dudley’. Left to right from the back row: B. Catron, J. Wilks, T. Clay, W. Clay, H. Clay, W. Marshall, C. Bealwall, Robert Marley, J. W. Marshall, J. Walton, J. Clay, G. Best, S. Webb, T. Curtley, R. Clough, R. Peacock, W. Cross, T. Jackson, J. Kennedy, D. Annear, T. Marshall, J. Beadon. Donna Wilson contacted the Archive with: “I think R. Marley on this picture might be Robert Marley, born 1879 in Liverton Street, Guisborough; son of David and Anne Marley. David and Anne are my great, great grand parents; I come from Robert’s older sister, Diana Marley; born 1873, she married Arthur Charles Wilson.” Whilst James Wilks added: “J. Wilks is my great granddad who was a lovely man apparently and looks the spit of my dearly departed granddad when he was young.” Thanks to Donna Wilson and James Wilks for the updates.  What more can I say about this photograph the heading says it all; the stable hands of Lumpsey mine. The Archive would welcome any information regarding dating this image or even any of the stable hands in the photograph. Image courtesy of Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum.  A lovely hand tinted photograph of the ever popular Arlington Street. The tinting was done with watercolours over the original sepia/black and white print and was very popular before the advent of cheap colour photography.  A view over the Gas works and Skinningrove village from the fields above Wood Road, looking over the gas works towards the sea. Image courtesy of Mrs. Breckon.  The Coastguards group are outside Staithes village hall and the certificates were from the R.S.P.C.A. for an animal rescue. We have some of the names of the men in the photograph: 1. ??, 2. ??, 3. Harry Reed, 4. Rev. B. Tatham, 5. ??, 6. ??, 7. Norman Conn, 8. ??, 8. ??, 9. George Hugill, 10. ??. Margaret Verrill Craggs tells: “George Hugill was my uncle. His son Edward Verrill Hugill lives in Marske.” Lesley Short adds: “Harry Reed was my uncle, married to my mother’s sister. I visited Staithes with my mother, father and brother during the early 1960s. Wonderful memories.” Whilst Dorothy Smith (nee Reed) advises: “My father is Harry Reed pictured here, we moved to Staithes just after the war for my Dad to serve with the Coastguard and live in the Coastguards house on Cliff Road. Thank you very much for the photograph.” Can someone add more details, please? Image courtesy of Mr. Ray Conn (from a photograph, copyright John Tindale, Whitby). |
