 An 1890 view of the High Street, before even the Skelton Institute building was erected in 1900. The building in the front right of this view was the Co-operative Butchery (possibly the original slaughter house), note it’s proximity to the High Street. To the right and not in view was the original Post Office. Image courtesy of Janet Grey.  A view of Mr Weir’s class.

A Salmon Series tinted postcard view of Arlington Street; with the Chapel and bystanders standing in the road. The congregation of the Arlington Primitive Methodist chapel were joined by members of the congregation of the Newton memorial chapel after it was destroyed. It was jokingly said ”It took Hitler to unite the Chapels”.  An excellent tinted postcard view of the lift at Saltburn. Interesting this can be dated to before 1925; Callum Duff has assisted with: “These rectangular buildings replaced the original octagonal structures around 1895. The pier was breached by SS Ovenbeg in 192;4 so the photograph was taken between these two dates. In 1925, a theatre was built between the two buildings so that the pier could continue as an attraction whilst being repaired.” Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson, thanks to Callum Duff for the dating information.  Another tinted postcard view of Saltburn.  An excellent tinted postcard view of the parish church. Part of the Phoenix Series produced by Brittain & Wright, Stockton-on-Tees. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  A beautiful tinted postcard of Skelton High Street. Traffic free and so peaceful. The building on the right is the former Skelton Co-operative Store, still standing today. Roger Barwick tells us: ”I believe the gentleman on the right walking past the Coop is my Grandad William Barwick who lived at No 9 High street. He passed away in 1955. My Mam had the same card and she had written that it was Grandad.” Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson and thanks to Roger Barwick for the update. |
