 A fine body of men, much maligned during those war-time years, pose in full uniform for a formal photograph, now known to be taken in front of the garages on Kilton Lane, Carlin How. Names and a date would be much appreciated.  Skinningrove School football team of 1953/54 are shown displaying the trophy they had won that season, some names were missing but; Derick Pearson suggested: “Next left to Mr Snowdon is Billy Bell, who lived at Bells Huts Carlin How and went to either South Africa or Australia many years ago possibly early 1960s. The one directly in front was a Myers of Railway Terrace Carlin How however this will need confirmation. “Jean Hugill (nee Ferrer) assisted with: “Maurice Myers lived Railway Terrace Carlin How and went to school with me. The boy at the back is Barry Lancaster a twin of Marie a school friend of mine still living in Carlin How.” Back row: Mr Temple, Billy Pearson, Barry Lancaster, Brian Yeoman, Alec Cuthbert, Eric Husband, Billy Bell, Mr Snowdon. Image and some names courtesy of Eric Rowe, thanks to Derick Pearson and Jean Hugill (nee Ferrer) for updates.  Mrs. Richards father, Second Lieutenant H. Grange, is second from the left on the back row. The back of the photograph is signed by Lieutenant Colonel Franklin and has all the names on it. It has been scanned and published to the post below. Eric Johnson told us: ’The young lady in the centre (Battalion Typist) Miss Doreen Noble later married Ron Thomas Steward of Loftus Club, later landlord of the Angel Inn of Loftus Market Place.’ Sheena Scott tells us: ’Lovely to see a photograph of my Gran when she was younger. I am Doreen’s granddaughter and am married to a Captain in 2YORKS (previously Green Howard’s) currently posted to Cyprus.’ Graham Suggett makes an appeal: “As we seem to be in a Home Guard mood, can I appeal for help, please? My Uncle Joseph (Joe) White was in the 13th North Riding Battalion (Loftus)] Home Guard.

This is the reverse side of the group photograph, with all the names, even the dog is mentioned. Jean Yardy advised: “The missing/covered name was is that of Lt Eddie Green.” Colin Dart enquired: “I stumbled across this photograph while researching some family history for my wife. Just wondered if you can shed any light on the gentleman in the back row / third left . His name looks to be Mr. J. Dart . Just curious as to whether there may be a connection.” Whilst O. R. D. Evans enquired: “My Father H. K. D. Evans Major late 4th Hussars Rank: Lieutenant Colonel, Service From Date: 01/02/1941 commanded the 13th North Riding (Worsall) Battalion. Is this the same battalion?” Can anybody assist with these enquires? Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards, thanks to Jean Yardy for the missing name, also thanks to Colin Dart and O. R. D.

Eston Mine; with the Hauler which hauled the wagons (trucks) up, or let them down, part of the incline. The rope attached from the Hauler drums and the Hauler man on the left side on the Drum bridge. The square opening on the building behind was where the Hauler or Winder man looked out over the proceedings. Note there are also more trucks under the bridge going further up to the left and next section. Image courtesy of a compilation by Derick Pearson; also the supporting information.
