Former Loftus Co-op staff having a good reminisce.
At the reunion, this was a familiar scene, recognising an old friend and meeting again. Friendships were renewed and contacts re-established after periods of lost contact. The whole evening was enjoyed by all.
A Valentine’s postcard view of Skinningrove that is long gone, this includes the Miner’s hospital and still remembered by some; as well as the former bridge over the beck, replaced following the flood in 1903.

This view of Arrowsmith’s Stonemasons yard at Redcar, dates from 1927 or 1928 (from the memorial in the picture which is for Eliza Martha Dunford died 1927). We are still trying to locate exactly where in Redcar the yard was. Craig Whgite tells us: ”Redcar Lane opposite cemetery main entrance. There was a stonemasons operating there well into 1970s possibly later. A single detached house was built on the plot in the 1990s.”

The stalls await the eager browsers outside the school, a lovely day for a wonderful event. The sun shone and everybody came to celebrate.

Although St Joseph’s had moved from Deepdale Road to Rosecroft Lane, it was appropriate that the centenary should be celebrated; a well loved school deserves recognition.

A wintery scene of Mill Bank, viewed probably from Mount Pleasant in Carlin How; as well as the fields of Kilton Mill, pre 1965. I know this as the former police houses were built on the field in front of the lone building which for many years was the JPG works site. It is now a chalet park.
