Meadowfields is actually part of East Row, being that part of Sandsend first encountered as the approach is made from Whitby; it is the houses leading off at a right angle from the road. It is only after crossing over East Row beck that Sandsend is properly entered; the view from a Judges postcard is minus the East Row viaduct which was demolished in 1960, following closure of the line in 1958.

The Flask Inn, 7 miles from Whitby on the road to Scarborough is a former 18th century coaching inn . Now much altered with development and lying away from the realigned road. The opened topped sports car stands at the lone petrol pump, can any one identify the make of the car? Image courtesy of Iris Place.
A further Judges postcard view of Egton Bridge, St Hedda’s RC church and the bank (entitled Egton Cliff on maps!) which descends from Egton, at the top of the hill. The view, dating from the 1950s; was probably taken from the road which having crossed the River Esk splits and then leads to Goathland or over the moor to Rosedale. Image courtesy of Iris Place.
A Judges postcard view of Lealholm, dating from the 1950s. Sited at a crossing point on the River Esk, Lealholm has an long history and is recorded in the Domesday Book. It was recently described by the Sunday Times “as the prettiest village in Yorkshire”; a title it well deserves, being a popular destination for many visitors to Eskdale.

Dating from the 1950s this Judges postcard shows Aislaby church, it stands at the western end of the village; dedicated to St Margaret built in 1897 as a replacement a chapel (dating from 1732) which still stands further to the east. Image courtesy of Iris Place.
From the days when every village had a school, this school photograph of Margrove Park in 1928 dates from that era.

As Derick Pearson tells us: “Lewis Snowdon later became Head at Skinningrove Secondary Modern School and later became Deputy Head at Loftus County Modern when it opened in 1963.” Image courtesy of Iris Place and many thanks to Derick for the update.  This postcard view of West Terrace is radically different today; ‘The Royal Standard’ which briefly was renamed as ‘The Standard’ is now long gone; whilst the road is for buses only. The clock tower dedicated to Edward VII still stands at the end of the High Street, it is a Grade II listed building and a valued part of Redcar heritage. Image courtesy of Iris Place.
