The gathered former Co-op workers needed to move round the room to try and meet their former colleagues. The occasion saw a vast turn out of former staff, all keen to exchange stories and meet again.

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. Image courtesy of Iris Place.  A view of a mason working on memorial stone which featured in the previous view of the outside yard scene; from Arrowsmiths workshop in Redcar. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier.  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.” Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier, many thanks to Craig White for that update.  The crowds still gather to take their seats at the Centenary Celebrations, where you there? Tell us you memories of this special day. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier.  The stalls await the eager browsers outside the school, a lovely day for a wonderful event. The sun shone and everybody came to celebrate. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier. |
