 Skinningrove school was where these budding footballers were from and some of the names are:-
1927 or there abouts was the date of this photograph and the names of the men are, Ann Robinson tells us: “Don Welford was my Dad. This photograph was taken before he lost his right arm in a works accident at Skinningrove steel works”. Image courtesy of Maureen Anderson and many thanks to Ann Robinson for the update.  Neil Suckling loaned us this photograph to ask if anyone out there knows the names of the couple, he thinks they may be Verrill’s from Staithes. Can you help? Image courtesy of Neil Suckling.  Another of Neil Suckling un-named photograph’s, have you a photograph of the same lady with a name on? If so please tell us who this pretty lady is. Image courtesy of Neil Suckling.  It is rather a cloudy dark moody photograph loaned to us by Eric Johnson; but a lovely image never the less. Taken from an unusual position shows the works off very well.

And so he should be showing off his four medals, he is now identified as Major (name not rank!) Lightfoot. He lived at 35 High Street, Skinningrove. The other man round the corner is identified as Tommy Wiskers living in Cliff Street. The medals have been identified by Joh Wright: ”The 1914/15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal (earned with the 9th Battalion Green Howards in France and Italy) and the fourth is the Rocket Apparatus Long Service Medal.” Steve Black tells us: ”I just came across this site and realize that Mr Major Light foot was my grandmother’s brother; so that makes him my great-uncle, so I must be related to Pat Sparkes, my grandmothers name was Rachel Duck her maiden name was Lightfoot and they had a sister called Alice who lived at Carlin how, we used to live at Primrose Cottage and the we moved to Boosbeck in 1962.”  Taken from Carlin How; this shows the valley off nicely, but sadly Primrose Hill is starting to be demolished.

Obviously in it’s time a substantial building. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson.  A lovely tinted image (from a postcard) of the cross loaned to us by Joyce Dobson. You don’t see Giusborough like this now. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson. |
