Obviously taken on a Skinningrove Senior School outing,: Pat Rawlings, ? Shaw, Elaine Cornforth, Hilary Moore, Mr Sid Robson, Isabell Tyreman, Mr Louis Snowdon. There appear to be a considerable number of coaches in the background, so possibly the Yorkshire Show. The Archive’s question is where and when? Can anybody help?  Here come the questions again, why was it decorated and when was it? Julie Riddiough wondered: “Is the lifeboat called the Burton on Trent and presented to Redcar for service, the boat served from 1867 to 1884. I actually have a postcard of this boat, possibly celebrating the retirement of the boat. This image could well be related to such an event.” Fred Brunskill came to the Archive’s aid with: ”This photograph is of the ‘Brothers’ which was an RNLI Self Righter and served from 1884 until 1907, being responsible for saving 71 lives. This photograph was taken on lifeboat day August 1892 – eight years after the Burton on Trent left Redcar.” Image courtesy of Mike Holliday; thanks to Julie Riddiough and Fred Brunskill for the updates.  Yes here we are again racing on the sands at Redcar and this time it’s motor bikes. Image courtesy of Mike Holliday.  When this photograph arrived to the Archive it was believed to be of the ironstone bunkers at Port Mulgrave. This was confirmed by Simon Chapman who explained: ”This was a fire at Port Mulgrave about 1911. You can see it has burnt out the engine room and boilers for the rope haulage system through the tunnel to Dalehouse, exposing a section through one of the bunkers for loading ironstone into ships in the harbour. The big mound of ironstone to the right was usually built up when sea conditions prevented ships docking and taking normal shipments away. The damage was later repaired and the harbour got back to normal operations.” Image courtesy of Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum and Maurice Grayson; also many thanks to Simon Chapman for the supporting information. |
