Skelton High Street from the West

An mid 20th century view of Skelton High Street from the west, the approaching United bus could have had several destinations; Guisborough, Lingdale, Redcar or Saltburn! The services Redcar to Lingdale and Lingdale to Redcar turned beside the newsagents (Whitaker’s in the 1960s and 1970s), opposite the Institute which is visible on the right. Even in those days the centre of Skelton High Street was the focal point for all bus services. This view brings back happy memories of Skelton in the same period.
