As a kid of 12 or 14 years I used to knock around with Arthur Breckon, also of Chapel Street; his dad Teddy Breckon was in the Coastguards in the mid 1950\u2019s. I was told more than once by Teddy Breckon, the large brick building on the right of the photograph beside the road going up to Dickie Bothroyd\u2019s farm, was a mortuary. This was used if anyone had been washed up on the sands who had drowned. I remember this building well made of old red bricks and a large wooden door. My Grandad was Jack Richards (an image of him is on the Website \u2013 in the pit with a rat on his knee). My Gran, Amy Richards was a member of the Skinningrove Women\u2019s Institute for many years. I left Skinningrove in 1980, when the heart was ripped out of the village as the houses in Chapel Street and the High Street were demolished; as well as Cliff Street, etc. To me this was very sad, as the houses would still have been stood now.\u201d&nbsp;Colin Hart can tell us: \u201dThe boatmen\u2019s hut was and still is situated just before the bridge onto the beach, it was used for social events, later used by the Gala Association and is now used by the pigeon men.\u201d Terry Baker adds: &#8220;It really is sad when your fondest memories of a place \u2013 the buildings and the houses and the lanscape are all bulldozed. But it\u2019s nice when you can reminisce the old times, or when someone helps you explain things in a photograph, like you have done here. It has been a real pleasure reading this post, with the lovely description of the contents of the photograph. It makes me want to revisit my childhood and try and remember my own photographs from then.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of Mrs Lilian Waton; thanks to Harold Richards, Colin Hart and\u00a0 Terry Baker for these updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>A lovely Skilbeck postcard of Skinningrove; our questions about the buildings have been answered by:&nbsp;Harold Richards tells us: \u201dI have many happy memories of Skinningrove, I was born there in 1944, and lived with my Gran and Grandad in Chapel Street.
