Today the church still dominates the eastern end of the High Street. Although today the trees are more noticeable.

The Skelton-in-Cleveland Co-operative Society building still dominates the High Street, but the present day white glazed frontage does not show the building to best effect.  Lythe Bank top after a winter storm before 1910; the church of St Oswald is seen without the later spire on top of the tower. The spire was added as part of the adaptions by Sir Walter Tapper in 1910. Image courtesy of Alan Richardson.  Stanghow Lane School Football Team of 1949. Back row: A. Tilley, Tony Calvert, B. Ness, Dennis Preston, Barry Bloomfield, David Hick, Mr Joe Reed, H. Breeze. Front row: Jeff Templeman, Gordon Templeman, David Lowe, Keith Gosling, Maurice Ferrer, B. Addison. Bill Danby tells us (courtesy of his History of Skelton website) about Joe Reed who is the teacher in this photograph (he was headmaster when Stanghow Lane closed in 1961) – ”Joe Reed DFC, who flew with Bomber Command as a navigator in the Second World War and was one of the few who survived. He finished his service as a Squadron Leader and Navigator Instructor.” Image courtesy Jeff Templeman; many thanks to Bill Danby for that update and Dennis Preston for the update on names.  One of several photographs we have of this bus crash on Mill Bank; the bus ending up in Kilton Beck. Image courtesy of Alan Richardson.
