 A view of William E. Greer’s photographic studio on Arlington Street after the addition of the veranda blinds. How smart the premises look. The building today no longer sports such attractive features; with today’s trafic levels it would soon be more than ‘shop soiled’! Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  Approaching from Loftus this is the scene as you reach North Terrace; the dress would be somewhat different today but the houses haven’t changed much. Adam Cuthbert tells us: ”I recall viewing No 1 North Terrace as a possible home and found the original side oven still in situ!”. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson & Keith Bowers and thanks to Adam Cuthbert for that update.  An aerial view of Loftus, one of a series taken by Mr Sakaropoulus in the 1970s. This image shows East Crescent, the Arlington estate and on westwards towards the Market Place. How green and verdant the area looks, ‘garden city’ like? Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus.  Edward Frederick Dohring pictured in 1910; a proud member of Liverton Mines Boy Scout Troop, he is in full Scout uniform for this early period of Scouting. Baden Powell (a copy of whose signatory hat Edward is carrying) held the first Scout camp on Brownsea Island in 1907. This image taken in a studio gives an idea of how rapidly this active boys organisation had spread. In the 1911 census his family was listed as being resident at 8 Graham Street, Liverton Mines, Edward was then a Grocer’s apprentice; aged 14 years. Image courtesy of Colin Dohring (Edward’s son).  A view of Skinningrove from the road close to St Helen’s church, Carlin How? A colourful view of what was then a vibrant community; although top Primrose Hill has been demolished, Hutton Street and the Co-op building are still intact. How it has changed. Steven Partlett advises: “I suspect that this image has been taken from the top of the Sinter plant. In the bottom right hand corner is the Fan house crane gantry leg. Also the fence marked to works boundary.” Image courtesy of Mrs Sakaropoulus, thanks to Steven Partlett for the update.  An early view of Towers School; none of the verdant vegetation as to be seen today along Glenside. David Morgan advises: “My Grandmother, Margaret McGillivray (1882-1929) from Sheffield, was a student at The Towers School, I suppose in the 1890s. She married my Grandfather, Oscar Crossley Morgan, in 1906. Later, her daughter Margaret “Peggy” Morgan (1918-2007) was a student as well, starting about 1929 or 1930. I am in the process of transcribing my aunt Peggy’s memoirs.” Image courtesy of a promotional brochure for Towers School at the turn of the 19th century; many thanks to David Morgan for the update.  Pupils bedrooms at the Towers obviously included dolls cots for the younger pupils; carefully lined up beside the fireplace and on the ends of the beds.

A further view of the gymnasium at the Towers School, although yet again the appropriate dress seems to be skirts. Surely this would have been a problem with the parallel bars? We presume this was a posed image perhaps for the school brochure, imagine having to do P.E. in those tunics? Image courtesy of a promotional brochure for Towers School at the turn of the 19th century  Towers School pupils enjoying bathing in the swimming pool in Saltburn baths. The sea water for the pool was changed once a week and the water was officially described as ‘tepid but we suspect that would mean cold! These sessions would be non-public and for the sole and exclusive use of the pupils of Towers school.

Towers School pupils enjoying reproducing nature; imagine lugging a stool and those easels any distance. Perhaps they had a school porter? I hope he was strong?
