A lovely photograph of the mine, but I think it may be a postcard. Someone has cropped the card (not guilty) but part of Geo. Skilbeck’s name can still be seen. Derick Pearson observed: “I think this image has been tampered with or someone has made a grave mistake which I am sure George Skilbeck would have had something to say about. The photograph has the name as Geo. Silbeck, missing the K. Very unusual at that time as they were particular and I doubt they would have printed many before that would have been spotted. If it is an original and correct as we see it, then it is well worth keeping hold of.”

Now the fan falls into disrepair as the mine is no longer working.

This one on the promenade at Redcar, a Sunday afternoon constitutional perhaps?

Yes looks rather a dull and dark day at Redcar with not many shoppers about on the High Street. I love the carriage on the left, maybe it’s waiting to take a shopper back home.

A lovely card showing five different views of Redcar, interestingly another multi-view postcard that has the South Gare on.

Station Road, not as we see it today but quite busy. This view is from the railway station towards the sea front.

That’s what the poster tells us and it was probably right in those days when Saltburn was in Yorkshire. Russ Piggot advises: ”As it says LNER on the poster it dates it form sometime between 1923 and the end of 1947 as BR was formed on 1st Jan 1948.”

Eric Johnson advised of this image: “The is the Prince of Wales later Edward VIII, at the opening of Constantine College, Middlesbrough in July 1930; this featured as part of the Royal visit to Britannia Steel Works.

A busy day on the beach and the full length pier I think. Couldn’t sit on the beach today too much seaweed, but still beautiful. As pointed out by Tony Lynn; this is Redcar beach and not Saltburn as I had initially put! Alan Etherington tells the Archive: “A ship was stranded next to the pier. I was very young and my grandmother took me to a friend of hers who lived in a small house looking directly out onto this view to see a ship that had run aground being pulled off the rocks (East Scar). I was pre-school age so probably the mid 1940s. As I recall there was no success as I watched.”

Rather strange to see a lonely car in the High Street at Redcar; especially as in more modern times this section is now pedestrian access.
