A postcard view of Redcar building now long gone; the Town Hall of the former Redcar Borough Council and the War Memorial on Coatham Road, the postcard was produced by The R.A.F. Co Ltd of London.  This Valentine’s Series postcard view of Khyber Pass gives an impression of serenity and quiet. Note how the pedestrians wander across the roadway and no traffic!

More colloquially known as Paddy Waddell, John Waddell undertook other projects than the ‘renowned’ Paddy Waddells Railway; this intended to link up from Lingdale to the ironworks at Grosmont. This image shows his ‘navies’ working on the Loftus, Whitby and Scarborough line in 1883; making particular reference to the construction at all different levels. Hard labour indeed!
