Comments which arose following the initial posting of this image included: Alison Bates asking: &#8220;We have been going through my father-in-law\u2019s possessions and have come across a silver tea set in the name of Sister Arabella, 25 years of service by the workmen at Brotton. Carlin How, Huntcliff, Kilton, Lumpsey and North Skelton mines. Brotton cottage hospital April 1901. Would really appreciate it if you could find any other information on her, she is obviously a distant relative.&#8221; Colin Hart assisted with: &#8220;Sister Arabella (Arabella Bates)in 1901 census she is the matron aged 63 living at Brotton hospital, born in Lancashire in 1838. In 1911 she is 73 single, living at 15 Upleatham St Saltburn. Date of death 1924 aged 86 registered in Stokesley.&#8221; Alison then queried: &#8220;Does anyone know where Sister Arabella Bates is buried?&#8221; Nigel Anderson has memories: &#8221; Had my tonsils out here in 1950! Six of us in one dorm for same operation. All frightened of the rumours of \u201cblack sick\u201d (sorry!!!).
