 This is a view that we don’t normally see as we drive through Sandsend; the card was posted in December, 1904. Thanks to Peter Appleton for pointing out that the original caption for the image was incorrect: “This isn’t “looking east”. The coastline here runs approximately east-west. This view is looking approximately north-west.” Image courtesy of Beryl Morris, thanks to Peter Appleton for the update.  May Thompson, Carol Unthank and Audrey Dales in the school office in July, 1974. Image courtesy of Celia Parrish, thanks to Colin Hart for update on names.  Yes I would have been there with these women, can you recognise anyone? Believed to have been taken outside the chapel building in Skinningrove and also containing several men, but date is unknown. Can anybody assist? Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection.  That’s what the banner says behind these men, but who were the men, what was the occasion and what group do they represent? Back row: ? Knight, ??, ??, John Waite?, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, Fred Simpson, ??, Morris Brignall, ??. Front row: Colin Riley, ??, Brian Shaw, ??, Chris Williams, Eric Parker, ??.

Okay own up were you one of the children in this photograph, believed to have been taken at Skinningrove? Be brave tell us if you were.  The caption for this photograph originally stated: “Bridge across jetty bank nearing completion, July 1950”; sadly it no longer exists! Some sixty years later even the jetty is no longer used by the steelworks. Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection.  This improved image of Grinkle mine replaces an earlier image which the Archive now has to hand. The mine was abandoned in 1934, hence very little survives to this day. The Archive also requested further photographs or information viewers would like to share with us?  A photograph taken after Skinningrove station was closed; signboard and platform are all that remain!  Loftus Senior School Football Team of 1933/34, in the familiar strip sponsored by the Golden Lion (believed originally black shirts with red collars and yellow/golden lion emblem. But do you recognise anyone in the photograph? Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection, updates courtesy of Derick Pearson and Eric Johnson.  This view of Sandsend and Lythe bank is from a postcard, post marked with the date of 7th June, 1919. Perhaps from a holiday post World War I and all its horrors. Image courtesy of Beryl Morris. |
