Ambling up Brotton High Street the brewery dray, advertises Russell and Wranghams Malton Ales. The Russell family’s Derwent brewery went into partnership with William Wrangham in 1897. Taken over by Camerons who later sold the site for a supermarket in 1984. The sign over the house doorway on the left is a mystery can any one shed light on it. Norman Patton tells us: ”Historically, the upstairs of No 26 was a ‘Cobblers’.”

Eston railway station, circa 1910, the station opened to passengers on 1st January 1902. Later a canopy was extended over the platform to shelter the passengers; the roof of one platform signal box is just visible, the one at the other end of the platform was later removed. This was a short lived station, closing 11th March, 1929; a casualty of motor bus competition.

This happy couple came and met old friends at the reunion, can we have assistance in naming them?
Another table sees John Roberts, ??, ??, ??; all meeting again after all those years. Can you assist with names?
Time changes us all and it is sometimes difficult to remember names. We have all been in this situation, asking a friend if they can name a face and then been relieved that it was who ever we thought it was. At the reunion this happened many times and always with a happy out come.
An evening enjoyed by all; the chance to enjoy a drink, chatter with old friends and remember the happy days working at the Co-op.
One of a series of images from the Co-op staff reunion, Harry Hall clearly enjoyed the evening, meeting old friends again.
Enjoying the chance to meet old friends was Sheila Cocks; our question is which department did she work in? Derek Miller tells us: ”I recall Sheila working in the Co-op hardware Department, which is now the Employment Office. Her manager was a man called Cyril Bacon. She later went on to pursue a career in retail at Uptons in Redcar and M & S in Middlesbrough.”
Many thanks to Derek for that update.
