A nice photograph of a group gathering; in 1910 in the Market Place, Loftus. However it is known for certain that there are at least 5 people from Carlin How on the photograph, so it may have been a mixed Chapel or church outing. Back row: Leslie Nicholson (magistrate), Fred Nicholson, ??, G. T. Goodwill. Third row: ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, Mrs Goodwill, ??, Margaret Elizabeth Hall (nee Ord), ??, Charles Hall. Second row: ??, ??, ??, ??, Clara Nicholson (nee Hall), ??, ??, ??. Front row: Lesley Nicholson. Neil Suckling confirmed: “Three of the young women are my great aunts; Mary Suckling (Murray), Hannah Suckling and Lydia Suckling (nee Donnelly) and possibly my grandad Andrew Suckling.” George Tremain added: “The man first on the right is Charles Hall of Front Street, Carlin How. His wife Margaret Elizabeth Ord is third from the left on the same row. Second from the left on the back row is Fred Nicholson, his wife Clara (Hall) Nicholson is fourth from the right on the second row. Their son Lesley is first on the left on the front row.” Whilst Tony Nicholson advised: “Yes, Fred Nicholson is on the back row at the far left, with a large white hat.” Rita Jury asked: “Hi I’m interested in the name- nee Donnely – could the spelling have changed my mother was Donnelly of Coronation Street born in 1922 – my grandmothers maiden name was Astle.” Image courtesy of Carlin How Community Centre, names courtesy of a CD compiled by Derick Pearson; thanks to Neil Suckling, George Tremain and Tony Nicholson for the updates on this photograph.  A beautiful building once owned by the Palmer family, now owned by a brewery and serves as a hotel. The pets graveyard is a place children love to visit to see where the dogs, ducks and other pets were buried. This view of Grinkle Park, taken probably during the times before it became the sporting hotel it is now; shows the glazed sun lounge to good effect. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.
Another photograph relating to the dismantling of Huntcliffe Mines after the closure in 1906. This picture is of the dismantling of the tipping gantry. Maurice Dower tells us: “The man second left on the top of the timber gantry is my great grand-father James Herbert Dower.” Grateful thanks to Simon Chapman for the information and Maurice Dower for the update.  Saltburn Mill House in the foreground still stands, much modernised, to this day, as Callum Duff advises: ”Saltburn Mill was actually situated a few yards up Saltburn Gill to the south of this view. Its millrace ran the length of the valley either following the current footpath or running alongside it. It was demolished around 1920.”. The small buildings behind it are now gone – replaced by the sewage treatment plant. Cat Nab (so named because it looks like a crouching cat) shows the paths from the boot marks of the boots of adventurous Victorians, eager to try the air – the scars are much deeper these days and beyond recovery. Anne Watson adds: “I have an almost identical postcard, with a 1.5d George V stamp. Our family spent many weekends and holidays there, 1930s to 1950s, as my great uncle owned the hut shown under the nab – called Nestleton Cot. The building in the foreground was a farm and as kids around 1950 we used to help the farmer’s dog bring cows in for milking. I think his name was Smith. The track to the field ran between the farm and the beck.” Peter Appleton advises: “The long house in the foreground was, almost certainly, the alum house for the alum works at Selby Hagg, Skelton. The first period of operation, from about 1617 to, perhaps, 1630 saw the alum house located in the quarry (which is located ESE from Hagg Farm and ENE from the Asda roundabout). The alum operation was resumed by Edward Trotter of Skelton Castle, on behalf of his father-in-law, Sir John Lowther, in 1670. In letters written to Sir John, it is explained that the laying of the troughs has begun and will be a very costly exercise. Those troughs, a wooden conduit, ran the entire length of Saltburn Gill, from the quarries to the long house at Cat Nab. That’s almost 2km in length! They operated for about 20-25 years. When John Hall Stevenson resurrected the alum works in 1765, the quarries, troughs and alum house were all refurbished. It is highly likely that the stone walls and probably some of the roof beams will have originally been part of the alum house.“ Many thanks to Callum Duff, Anne Watson and Peter Appleton for the updates.  Rosedale West is where this station is and Robert Goundry assisted with: “Rosedale West was a junction where the line from Ingleby Incline divided to go to the East and West sides of Rosedale. The engine shed for the line was there, but as there were no (official) passenger trains it wasn’t a passenger station. The locomotives were NER Class P (LNER J24) and had tender cabs to help deal with the inclement weather across the moors.” Image (from a William Hayes postcard) courtesy of Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum and thanks to Robert Goundry for the update.  This stern group of lads were the Lumpsey Mine football team, known collectively as ”The Skinshifters”. They appear to have won a trophy – hope it wasn’t a knock-out competition! Can anyone name the team and maybe give us a year and the name of the competition? Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection and others.  The Archive could not place these falls and asked: “Can anyone tell us anything about them, please?” Janet Wilson answers our question with: ”Liverton falls are in what we used to call “Shaw’s Banks”. They are about 1/4 mile upstream from Liverton mill. Permission to visit them should be sought from the mill owners, as the falls are on their land. My brother and his friends used to climb the falls (during the summer when there was much less water cascading down them). ” Ann Johnson adds: “We called the road Mill Bank when I lived at Moorsholm. Mr Shaw used to ride his horse and cart up the bank in a zig zag as it was so steep. The road is very narrow now due to the land slides on Liverton side. We used to go that way to school at Loftus.” Image courtesy of Beryl Morris, thanks to Janet Wilson and Ann Johnson for the updates.  Orininally posted by the Archive as Robert Shaw with his horse and cart pictured in Moorsholm, date as yet unknown but possibly late 1930s, but the Archive awaited confirmation of this fact. The cottage further back down the street has long since been redeveloped and was the blacksmith’s shop. Ann Johnson adds: “I remember Harry Shaw he used to come to Moorsholm with his horse and cart.” Since then assistance has been provided by Stewart Ramsdale with: “This is Moorsholm, but it is of Seth Shaw with his block cart in 1904”.
