 Springhead Terrace again, but what is the occassion – wedding, christening, bithday or what? Please help. Image courtesy of Michael Garbut.  We wondered if this was a special family event and we are now told that this is possibly an image from the wedding of Tom Henwood and Hannah Bidmade in 1907 and possibly taken in close to the family home in Liverton Mines. Identified to date are: Back row: ??, ??, ? Bidmade, ??, Tom Bidmade, ??, William Bidmade, ??, Jane Bidmade, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Front row: ?? (standing), Ada Bidmade, Olive Bidmade, ??, Lena Bidmade, Tom Henwood, Hannah Henwood (nee Bidmade), John Bidmade, ??.  A wintery view of Mill Bank, Loftus under a covering of snow, prior to the road alterations. Obviously the horse and cart were undeterred by the road conditions. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  North Skelton Mine First Aid and Rescue team. Richard Beadnall tells us: ”This is my granddad, Harry Beadnall. He was on the mine rescue team at Lumpsey before moving to North Skelton until it closed. He died not long after leaving North Skelton.” Image courtesy George Pearson and thanks to Richard Beadnall for the update.  A view of Dodds shop in the Market Place; therefore pre 1906 and their move to Smithfield House, interestingly J. M. Slater the pharmacist then had a similar frontage as the more modern counterpart. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  J. S. Lawrence obviously had an extensive stock, one can only image how well filled the interior of the shop must have been to fill so much pavement space. ‘Elf’ and Safety would have a field day! Interestingly, yet again ‘White Hat Robinson’ just manages to get into the picture; standing in the doorway at the extremem right of this view. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  J.S. Lawrence Ironmongers used to occupy the corner shop which now houses Loftus Post Office, the original occupants were Robinson Brothers; with their warehouse adjoining. Isaac (“White hat”) Robinson can be seen in this image, standing in the doorway; as he did in many images of Loftus and surrounding area. No worries about blocking the pavement in those days. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  Form a line to use the swings! Obviously posed for the photographer at the event at the field. Dating from the 1950s, we welcome names and a better idea of the event. Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  This is the same image as the other of this title (later in the Archive) but note the little dog hiding under the ladies skirts in the front row. Image courtesy of Michael Garbutt. |
