Another dam in Loftus woods, perhaps now lost or can anybody tell us which one and the location?

 A tranquil scene, obviously towards winter as the trees do not seem to be in full leaf. Can anybody identify the location? Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt.  Delightfully posed; but how did they kept the dog and cat to stay together for any length of time? Perhaps the lady was a ”cat and dog whisperer”? Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt.
This group does not seem that enthusiastic about this placing, particularly the young man on the right of the image. Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt.  Again a formal occassion, this time against the garden wall, I wonder if Maude is in there? Avril Baker comments: “If you look carefully at this plate, you can detect that the formal occasion is a wedding party. The bride and groom are in the center, and girls at front are flower girls each are holding flower sprays and the men have flowers on their lapels. If you know where roughly the area where the plate came from, you could maybe look at old churches in that area to give you a clue to where maybe the garden was. It was likely to have been a grand house as the people are quite well dressed.” Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt, thanks to Avril Baker for the update.  A wonderful view of Cleveland Street complete with tap and small trough below. Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt.  A very formally dressed group, but where when and whom? I wonder what the ladder was for, or perhaps it was over looked. Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt.  This view of Loftus or Kilton Viaduct was taken before 1913 and the filling in of the structure with shale from the mine. At the left of the viaduct the calcining kilns at the Liverton Mine can be seen, whilst in the very foreground the weir providing water to power Kilton Mill further down stream is also visible.

Old photographs of the Market Place show the house as a two storey stone built dwelling, next to Fenby’s General Dealers (later Barclays Bank). Image courtesy of Mrs Sakelaropoulos.  I don’t think it is actually a picnic! But still a delightful view of Skelton Church viewed from the eastern end of The Hills. The Wharton Arms (Skipper’s as it is often known) shown to the left of the clump of trees which shroud Egg Cup Farm. I wonder who the five young people are enjoying the sunshine? Graham Shaw asks: “Any idea how old this picture is?” Whilst Kirsty Dawson comments: “I’ve recently bought Egg Cup farm it was built in 1850; I love it, needs a lot of working doing to it but it will be restored and be my forever home.” Image courtesy of George Pearson, thanks to Graham Shaw and Kirsty Dawson for the updates. |
