Sheila Cotterill asked: “I am trying to make contact with a dear friend, I used to come to Loftus every year to stay with Sylvia and Alan England who lived in Loftus for many years, me and my family would visit a couple of times each year. I know Sylvia died some time ago, I have tried to telephone Alan on a number of occasions and no reply and the number is now not recognised. I don’t know if anyone looking at this can help? I live in Buxton, Derbyshire. My mother and father knew them well when Sylvia worked in the Arlington in fact we stayed there a couple of times. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.” Carrie Emerson responded: “My name is Carrie and I am Sylvia and Alan England granddaughter,Alan died September 2015,that is why you cannot get in touch sorry to be the bearer of bad news.”

This Valentine’s postcard view of the lower Spa bank, Bank café and with Huntcliffe beyond dates from the 1940s or 1950s. As it is unused it is still in remarkable condition. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.
Post marked 1905, this Frith’s postcard view of Skelton church. The church was consecrated in 1884, this image possibly dates from shortly after that date. Image courtesy of Peter Appleton and John G. Hannah.
This multi-view postcard from the ‘Jay Em Jay Series’ is from the early part of the 20th century. The promenading ladies in the earlier view must have had to hold on to their hats on windy days?
This Frith’s postcard view is of Saltburn Parish church over open fields of the area now occupied by Hilda Place. It bears the message: “For the best Furnished Houses and Apartments, apply to W. Rapp & Sons Ltd., House & Estate Agents, Saltburn-by-the-sea.” Dating the card is more problematical, only the western side of Hilda Place had been built by 1920, so the image is probably from the late 19th century. Christine Pollard assists with: “The foundation stone for the tower was laid on 7th August 1900 and the tower dedicated on the 5th April 1902. The chancel was rebuilt after the Great War in 1914-18 and the upper east windows were dedicated to the fallen men on the 10th December 1922, so this photograph was somewhere after 1902.” Image courtesy of John G. Hannah, thanks to Christine Pollard for the dating update.
This delightful view taken from the rising seaward end of the pier; gives a real impression of the length. A postcard from the “Rapps’ Saltburn Arts Series” dates from the early 20th century; from the style of dress not the warmest of days? Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.
