Before The Potash

Yes a lovely view looking down Boulby Bank before the Potash was built, dated 1967. Unfortunately a previous editor cropped the date off to get less of the sky.

Russ Pigott comments: “Interesting that there appears to be the remains of a bridge parapet opposite the farm, this would have carried the coast railway over the A174. I presume the cottages that stand where CPL now is were for the former Boulby ironstone mine?”

All Bandaged Up

Five nurses with their patient in the middle the three standing at the back are:-
Nurse Hampton, Sister Robinson and Sister Fawcett.
Front row:- Nurse Ward, injured girl and friend and Nurse Stambra. Were you that injured girl or her friend?

Joan Webster tells us: “My mam was cook at Brotton hospital she worked with the nurses on the photograph.” Michelle Atkinson also tells: “My gran; Peggy Smith was cook at Brotton hospital in the 1970s.” Ann Jackson commented: “My Mam Peggy Jackson worked in the kitchen on an evening in the 1970’s and cooked the food on a Sunday teatime. She left when we moved to live in Ormesby 1975-76.” Finally a question from Alison Bates: “Does anyone know of Sister Arabella? She was the Matron of Brotton cottage hospital in 1900.” The Archive has been able to answer part of Alison’s questions on the post “Cottage Hospital Brotton; we hope this assists.
