 Mr. Main sent us this portrait of his grandmother and others, following a recent visit to Loftus and Boulby. Mary Ann was the eldest daughter of John and Isabella Thurlow of Boulby Barns Farm. She was born in 1875, he thinks that this portrait was probably taken for her 21st birthday while she was working at Studley Royal, near Ripon, in 1896. Image courtesy of Gordon Main.  Mrs Scott, Ian Bell, Mayor Linda Bell, Peter Scott, Rev. Adam Gaunt, Mrs Marjorie Veal, Mr Gaunt, with other councillors and Loftus people, viewed the parade outside St Leonard’s church. Also present is a Guisborough Sea Cadet and members of the Army Cadets under the direction of Chief Officer R. Fielding. Can anyone help with more names, please?

Somewhere different; I don’t think we have another photograph of Liverton or of these cottages which I always knew as Petch’s Cottages am I right? As Jill Gale tells us: ” This is at the corner of Moorsholm Lane with main road. Village hall to far right of picture.” Bill Watkinson tells us: ”I and my family lived in the last one next to Moorsholm Lane from 1968 when we bought it for £2500 and they were known as 4 Petch’s Row then. My Mum and Dad sold up in about 1984 when a motorcyclist was killed in the side garden. The second house in the row was lived in by Mrs Harrison and young Jim her son who worked at the Shrubberies. The house behind the village hall was lived in by a lady with Parkinson’s disease where I used to go to get our Sunday chicken.”

A photograph of the Boatmen’s Committee as we now know; Colin Hart advised: “I have the same photograph and yes it is the Boatman’s Committee. On back row Alan Hart (my dad), Eric Hart (uncle) and Jack Shaw. Middle row is Bob Hart (grandad).” Back row: George Tinkler, ’Do-Do’ Cox, Frank Tyreman, Alan Hart, Eric Hart, ??, Jack Shaw. Middle row: Jack Ebbs, Mary Hart, Olive Howard, Vi Cox, Cyril Linford, Bob Hart, Eric Green. Front row: Ted ‘Seaweed’ Breckon, Jack Tinkler, Ivy Tinkler, Bella Blaylock, Miriam Cox, John Elliott, Phyllis Green, Martha Padget. Can anybody assist with the last missing names?

Taken in Skinningrove on the streamside outside the Post Office, visible in the background (centre) is the end of Zetland Row and to the left Albion Place (Yon Far Back); and these are Skinningrove men, Norman Walker tells us: ”The men in the picture are from left to right Jethro Beckwith, Harry Walker (my father), unknown, Jim Hodge.” Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection and thanks to Norman Walker for the update.  Skinningrove gardeners, believed to be outside the Allotment Association shed on the hillside above the end of Zetland Row. There is quite a bit of produce on view so could possibly be show time? Colin Hart tells us: ” I believe the photograph was taken with Primrose Hill (middle and bottom rows) in the background and the cliff and cliff field to the right.” Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection and thanks for updates from Derick Pearson and Colin Hart.
