I love this Frith’s postcard view of Castleton as it used to be; how lovely, no cars, just a horse and cart. Again a day when somebody knew the photographer was coming and ensured they got in the picture!

 Another photograph we have to thank Ray Brown for, this lovely shot of the cliff lift at Saltburn. We were unsure of date; Russell Pigott suggested: “Poor old thing looks a bit neglected in those days, judging by the cars I would say this was mid to late 1970’s. Callum Duff assisted with: “This photograph was taken between 1980 when the amusement arcade was added to the shore end of Saltburn Pier and 1986 when many of the council-owned structures were repainted maroon and cream for Saltburn’s 125th anniversary and subsequent Victorian Week celebrations.” Callum further advises: ”Actually, the date of this photograph could be narrowed further to between 1980 and 1983 when the Tramcars were repainted brown.” Image courtesy of Ray Brown; many thanks to Russell Pigott for the update and Callum Duff for advising on precise dates.  This colour-tinted view of Easington church is from a H. G. Glen postcard that was posted in 1907. Image courtesy of Beryl Morris.  This lovely view of Easington’s All Saints Church complete with commentary came to the Archive, from a calendar courtesy of Loftus Town Crier.  Another fine view of this fine church, taken from Beecham’s Photo-folio; an album produced to promote the scenic buildings, places to visit and attractions of an area. Saltburn had such a guide, as did Whitby and other larger or more notable towns. Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection and other collections.  Believed to have grounded at Redcar; but again the name is all that is known about this ship any more information would be gratefully received.  The name is the only thing I know about this photograph; believed to be pictured at Redcar, so once again help is needed.  This T. C. Booth postcard presents a collection of views around Loftus; the railway station yard, the market place, Kilton viaduct, Hummersea farm, West Road and Loftus mill from the early 1900s. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  Skinningrove Junior F. C. from 1921/22, pictured possibly at the entrance to Kilton Hall Farm; this being just up the road from where the team would play in Carlin How. Standing: ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Image courtesy of Alan Franks.  This is the year that Skinningrove Juniors took the North Riding Junior Cup and this is the photograph to celebrate that feat. Can you help with the missing names? Julie Riddiough suggests: “I thought it might be Laurie Riddiough; he died in an accident at Skinningrove Tarmac works in 1927.” Whilst Andrea Richardson asks: “Is there any way to find out which teams won this cup in previous years please? I have a photograph of a team with a cup that looks very similar but maybe from the 1920s?” Colin Hart has provided an update which may assist with: “Skinningrove Juniors were beaten in the North Riding Junior Cup final in 1921 then as Skinningrove Primitive Methodist Juniors went on to win the cup for five consecutive seasons.“ Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection and others, thanks to David Sanderson, John Roberts, Julie Riddiough, Andrea Richardson and Colin Hart for the updates. |
