Where’s My Bone?

This image of a foxhound presumably having escaped from one of the “meets” at Skelton Castle. Must have been more interesting than chasing across the countryside! Dating from the early 1900s, this Phoenix series postcard could still be replicated today, although the vegetation fronting the walls is now much reduced.

The Easter Bonnet Winners Are!

John and Jean Weir (nee Cocks) are seen with it is believed the winners of Carlin How Women’s Institute Easter Bonnet competition of 1968. As yet we do not know the names of the winners; however Brian Young tells us: ”Gentleman in middle  is Leslie Nicholson, he had a shop in Brotton High Street.” Derick Pearson advises: ”Leslie of Nicholson and Pettys of Brotton was also involved with Carlin How chapel and also a Magistrate. The lady on the far right of the picture was called Pat or Pam and was a hairdresser from Queen Street, Carlin How.” Whilst Gail Hudson notes: “I think the lady second from the right is my Grandma, Hilda Hudson.”
