 Hutton Village was known from1871 as Thomas Town, but the name was changed in 1880 after Joseph Pease planted many trees to beautify the area. He also built a school for the children of his estate workers and a mission as a place of worship. This image now known to be a Phoenix series postcard dating from the early 1900s and beautifully hand tinted has come to the Archive; obviously a well liked view of the village close to Guisborough. Image courtesy of Keith Bowers and Kim Whaley.  When I first saw this I thought it was a modern photograph, but looking closer it is an old photograph that has been tinted and very nicely too.  A Frith postcard which when first coming to the Archive had been punched with holes for storing in a ring binder!
