After their marriage they lived in Richard Street; then William Street, North Skelton, before moving to a new bungalow, Auld Reekie, in Saltburn Lane. Lawrence worked at North Skelton Mine throughout his working life until it closed. (I think in the 50\u2019s). He became the Check Weigh man, which I think is synonymous with being the local Union Representative? Later in his life he took an active interest in local politics and was an elected councillor. Lawrence died in 1957 and his wife in 1967 aged 65 and 71 respectively.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yes, I know Paignton is nowhere near Loftus \u2013 but North Skelton is!&nbsp; Anyway I like the angle Norman is taking with these photographs \u2013 keep watching!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image and information courtesy of Norman Patton.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>Do you remember the picture of the little boy on the cart in an earlier post?
