 A view of Sandsend, entitled “Sand’s End and the Cliffs”; the railway station and its environs look remarkably tidy! The image is from a published “Views of Whitby & District”, undated but obviously early 20th century. The image also is also in ”Photographic View Album of Whitby”. (photographed and printed by Valentine & Sons Ltd., Dundee).  B.P. stands for Baden Powell and the team are shown on Carlin How football field! Anybody care to put any names to the faces?

 Skinningrove Gala Queen, the girls look pleased to be there but I am not sure about the boys. Dawn Holliday advised: “I was the Gala Queen featured in this photograph and I think it was in 1969 or 1970. The attendants were Pauline Carlin, Carole Stone, John Dowson and Neil Winspear.” So now we know we know: Pauline Carlin, Carole Stone (attendants), Dawn Holliday (Gala Queen), John Dowson, Neil Winspear (attendants). Babsy Holliday commented: “That’s my big sister Dawn as Gala Queen; I’m so proud of my dad Pem Holliday for all the photographs he took of the village that meant so much to him.” Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection, thanks to Dawn Holliday and Babsy Holliday for the updates.  A lovely photograph of the fishermen of Skinningrove, the names are the problem: ??, ??, Hilary Husband, Henry Husband?, ??, ??. Do you know the names of those in this photograph.  The end of the Cinderella pantomime at Skinningrove, Mr Lacey at the left hand side, Mrs Lacey far right; Doreen Pearson and Edan Rowe are there, we asked for any more of the names. Tom Sayers tells us: ”This is almost certainly the Institute at Skinningrove. The shows opened in the Institute and ran all week. They then went, “on tour” to Loftus; in a wooden building up Micklow Lane, and in The Black Bullit up Kilton Lane. The Miners Institute is long gone. It stood behind the War Memorial and the OAP bungalows.” This also explains Rita Beckham believing that St Helen’s church hall was involved, possibly part of the ”tour aspect” of the pantomime. Celia Kentfield tells us: ”The panto was Cinderella and was in the Miners Institute at Skinningrove. It was put on by the Methodist Chapel Skinningrove. The panto ran all week, bus trips came from Staithes and other surrounding villages. Full house every night – admission by ticket only.

It would be more precise to describe the image as Easington Schools; being a classic Poor Law School. Boys one side and girls the other; each with a separate entrance. Ray Brown told us: “This has come from Joe Fenby, he lived in the now converted School for many years and had then just celebrated his 90th birthday; Ray was told that the Girl in the picture was Joe’s mother but he could not say for certain.” Image courtesy of Raymond Brown. |
