Following a comment from S. Welford; Eric Johnson advised: &#8220;&#8216;Snilah&#8217; ponds were originally two ponds, I was told they were the settling ponds for Hummersea Alum Works. I remember them as home to a colony of great crested newts, dragonflies, and other aquatic wildlife; surrounded by purple spotted orchids. The site was used for filling in with industrial waste. Many years later walking past the site I observed a black oily substance oozing from the area. A sad end (and I don\u2019t belong to the green party!). Heather Bann added: &#8220;I also have a postcard picture taken approx. same time though the tide is out; position almost exact. My grandmother Annie Hammond (nee Burns) of Fylingdales, had sent it to my grandad just prior to their wedding in 1914. She has marked the house which can just be seen cut off a bit at the left edge as her half sister\u2019s house, Lucy (nee Burns) and George Wren. She has also marked the farm further up and just below the \u2018smoke\u2019 from the works as \u201cWhere my uncle lives\u201d I do not know is this an uncle on the Burns side or her mother\u2019s side the Wedgwood\u2019s? Would love to know.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thanks to Eric Johnson, S Welford and Heather Bann for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>A lovely view of the cliffs and the sea, there is Hummersea bay, Skinningrove and Cattersty, the jetty can be clearly seen and the &nbsp;smoke&nbsp;tells us&nbsp;&nbsp;where the ironstone works are.&nbsp; Hummersea Farm can also be seen, as can the shine of a pond in the centre of the image.
