Elizabeth Mellor played the queen, Ronnie McConnell the king and Derek Preston the cook, in this production at Skinningrove school. Elizabeth has told us that Mr. Sayers organised this event and took the photo. He was teaching at the school after coming out of the Army and this was a Christmas production. Mr Tom Sayers has provided an update: “Yes, I took the photograph. It was a Christmas play. I had served in the RAF, not the Army though.”

The date is on the newspaper cutting, 24th. April 1934, from our cuttings file (in the main from the Evening Gazette); with all that remains of the Hippodrome at Brotton after a fire.

Barring out calcined ironstone from kiln after roasting, taken to weighbridge and then placed on lift platform prior to raising to the charging platform at top of the furnace. Note the almost nappy effect on the workman’s trousers; this is in fact a protective pad (made from discarded belting) to protect from the heat which came from the calcined ironstone in the barrow. An early version of PPE!

The reason I posted this photograph is because I love it, now gentlemen or ladies can you tell me anything about it? Fred Brunskill tells us: ”The brig ‘John and Mary’ left Portsmouth for Sunderland carrying ballast when she was forced ashore at Saltburn on 28th October 1880.” Vanessa Liddle asks: “My great grand father was drowned in a brig from Seaham called VINTAGE which ran into difficulties on Saltscar rocks does anyone have any information. A storm on October 10th 1881 . This is all I have managed to find out . Any information would be appreciated.”
