The cutting tells all, although our editor thinks they have got the names in the wrong order.

 The Archive asked of this some of the carved pillars inside the church: “Anyone know when this church was built?” Phoebe Newton advised: “It was built in the 12th century but restored in the late 18th century, the carvings must be Norman.” Image courtesy of Jean Dean, thanks to Phoebe Newton for the update.  Inside the church at Liverton; a small but beautiful church. Are they oil lamps hanging there? These are also triple Norman Arches – very similar to Lastingham church – near to Hutton le hole.  An early photograph of two women and their children near the spring at Easington. The very elegant stonework surrounding the spring was installed by Lord Palmer of Grinkle Park as part of his improvements to the village, in the late 19th century.

Unthank), Miss Allanson Mr. Ward, Mr. Lee, ??, Mavis Hall (pianist and singing teacher), Miss Elaine Jacobs, Mrs. Norminton Front row: Mr. Howard, Mrs. Gornall, Mr. Davey, Mr. Norminton (headmaster), Mrs. Best, Mr. Stephenson, Miss Rivett Barbara McBurney tells us: “The teacher to the right of Mrs R Unthank I believe is a young Miss Allanson!”, whilst Anne Norminton told us: “The person to the right of Mrs Norminton was, briefly on the staff and called so Elaine Jacobs.”

Janet Lingard (nee Thompson) tells us she was in this class. ”I must have been absent when the photograph was taken.” Whilst Norman Patton adds: “Those years when Mr Richardson had Class 1 and Miss Trevillion was Head Mistress must surely have been the golden years for Loftus and its Junior School?” Image and names courtesy of John Roberts. Thanks to Barbara McBurney, Gillian Walker, Brian Espiner and Christine Brown and Charles Harrison for updated names.  This image from a printed postcard the Archive believe dates from the 1920’s (the only information on the reverse was ‘Juniors Football’); the Archive doesn’t know which year or any information about the teams.  Two shots of the St Andrew’s church at Upleatham small but perfectly formed. For years it was described as the smallest church in Britain, but unfortunately that honour goes to Bremilham Church in Wiltshire at 4 metres by 3.6 metres. Upleatham is about 6 metres by 4 metres and is actually the remains of a much larger church. Image courtesy of Eric Johnson, additional information courtesy of Chris Twigg ‘Hidden Teesside’.

Peter Tilley asked: “I wonder where all these people on this photograph are now?” Image and names courtesy of Audrey Souter (Whitwell), thanks to Peter Tilley for the update.  This photograph is a bit of a rarity as well. It is of an experimental Botrail Tractor on Redcar beach around the 1920s. I couldn’t see this as being very successful due to the length of the treads. Too many parts to go wrong. Perhaps that is why we never see this kind of thing to day. It must have been quite a bumpy ride too. Derick Pearson explained: “In 1912 a patent was issued to Frank Bottrill an engineer in Australia for improvements relating to Ped-rail Shoes for heavy road vehicles. in the UK, it was called a Botrail Tractor. However to throw in more controversy there are two of the largest in the world still in use in Australia and over there they use the name Bottrill after the patent holder. So in the UK it is Botrail for models sometime after 1913 and in Australia Botrill.” Whilst Julie Riddiough confirms: “This is Redcar beach, judging by the pier end and the vents on top of the pier ballroom.” |
