Hummersea Farm

A different view of Hummersea Farm we see today, now much changed with a larger range of dwelling houses.  In the distance beyond Snilah ponds is The Warren. 

Holly Enticknap tells us: ”We lived in the barn on the right hand side, we converted it into our house, it took eight years to complete!”

Haytime at Boulby Barns

John Thurlow is sitting on the barrow while one of the younger men is forking the hay off the cart to build the stack. Ann Codling queried: “Does anyone know who the young men are? John had three sons – Henry, Christopher and Edwin (although Edwin died in 1881).

Hinderwell Bazaar

Mrs. M. Conn, Ray’s mother, is in this photograph (Copyright – John Tindale, Whitby); taken at a church bazaar at Hinderwell.  Rev. Perriman, Rev. Ward, Mr. Blaylock, Mr. Codling and Mr. Tom Harland are in the group.  Sheila Roots advises: ”This photograph was taken in the Interegnum and the Rev. Ward came from Scarborough most weekends. The lady in front is Mrs. Perriman – wife of the Rev. Perriman from Whitby (not Berriman) The other gentleman is Thomas Harland and not Thomas Husband. Mr. Blaylock was a Church Warden – the other Churchwarden – William Harrison (my father is missing from the photograph).” Barry Easton confirms with “Mr Codling is my late grandad.”

A Group of Ladies

Mrs. Wilson believes that this photograph was probably taken at Boulby Barns. Georgina Codling (Thurlow) is on the left of the back row.  Could Isabel be the little girl in the middle? I wonder what the occasion was, perhaps a birthday?.  The young woman on the left, at the front, is holding a small parcel.
