Nice different view of Staithes, with Cowbar Cottages on the hill at the right hand side. These are believed to have been built by Mark Palmer (mineowner who lived at Grinkle Park) as housing for his mine worker from the former Grinkle mine, this being situated in the valley below the present Potash mine. Anne Jenner requests: “I am interested to know if Sir Charles Palmer also built the Rocket House at Cowbar and how to find out its date and use. Please can anybody help?”

Looks quite an early postcard with part of a number in the left hand corner. This view gives a true aspect of how large the beach is at Redcar at lowtide; a long way to walk for a paddle!

Identified to date are: ”Lank” Lightfoot with the goat (playing that day the part of Ghandi) and beside him is Jimmy Verrill (ex Club Secretary) Three dark gentlemen in front of image as “George” Burns, ?? and Fred Hudson. George Smith (Club President at that time) is the gentleman in the white shirt seen between the blackmen. Any more suggestions?

The Suckling family, at their home of 1 Railway Terrace Carlin How (now 44 Brotton Road); it hasn’t changed much has it? We are told the building to the left of this house was a water tower which at one point had a dodgy ladder up the side, now demolished.
