 This image of the Grade II listed bridge in Levenside Stokesley was built in the 17th or early 18th century and features in many images of the town. It came to the Archive as a glass plate negative, believed to date from the early 1900s. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  The Coulson family farmed at Bog House in the early 20th century, the farm and house now long disappeared under the waters of Scaling Dam; along with another farm. Jo Halliwell commented: “This was my fathers family, my dad was born here; not sure who is in the picture. Would love to see more pictures if any available.” Stephen Coulson advises: “We are the very same Coulsons, still in Newby which is where the cattle and everything else was moved to.” Angela Crosthwaite comments: “My relative Robert Featherstone lived here with his family in the late 1700s (I think!).” Whilst John asks: “Any one else got any photographs of the dam being built?” Image courtesy of Mrs Wilkinson via Keith Bowers, thanks to Jo Halliwell, Stephen Coulson and Angela Crosthwaite for the updates on the Bog House and the Coulson family. Can anybody assist with John’s request?

Staithes High Street in the early 20th century. a lovely photograph showing the narrow street to perfection and the ladies in their Staithes (or Steers as locals know it) bonnets, even if you go to Staithes now you never seem to see the bonnets so traditional and popular with the fisher women of Staithes. |
