Anybody recognise their fathers or mothers in this team?
Geoff tells us: ”Lady third from right back row as you look at the photograph is Marion Barwick (maybe still Ditchburn, not sure of date) the lady on her left is Vera Bailey”. Shelagh Tyler, daughter of Marion confirms that Ditchburn was her name at the time of the photograph being taken but also supplies the following information: ”I have a copy (of photograph) and Mam has written some of the names on the back though they are not written in any order. Mr & Mrs Edith? North, ? ? Linford, Mrs Linford, Mrs Pickering, Will Thomas, Maggie Cause, Alice Wills, Bill Atkinson, Harry Skeldon, Olive Massey, Grace Atkinson, Vera Bailey.”
With thanks to Geoff and Shelagh Tyler for names to date.
This photograph of the Liverton Mines and Loftus Scout Troops was taken at the same party as the other three photographs that are already on site. Bob Goldby the Assistant Scout Master, is sitting with the boys, but we haven’t any of the boys’ names. Sixth from left on back row has been identified as Barry Emerson. Alan Walker advises: ”Possible names: Second from left Graham Nellist, fourth from left David Bateman, seventh from left Michael Bateman.”
Can anybody assist with other names?

Middle Row (L to R): Bert Davey, Dabber Adamson, ? Crispin, Pim Tyson, Jimmy Winter. Front Row (L to R): Jimmy Mott, Skinner Hodge, Sos Wilson.

Skinningrove Junior F. C. from 1921/22, pictured possibly at the entrance to Kilton Hall Farm; this being just up the road from where the team would play in Carlin How. Standing: ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Kneeling: ??, George Franks, ??. Sitting: ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Can anybody assist with the missing names?
This is the year that Skinningrove Juniors took the North Riding Junior Cup and this is the photograph to celebrate that feat. Can you help with the missing names? Standing: R. C. Biott, ? Skilbeck, George Franks, ? Darnbrough?, ? Smith, ? Matson, ? Webster?. Middle: ??, Wilf Sanderson, ? Ovington, ? Welford, ? Turnbull. Sitting: Frank Bullock, ? Russell, Harry Auckland, ? Riddiough, ??.
Julie Riddiough suggests: “I thought it might be Laurie Riddiough; he died in an accident at Skinningrove Tarmac works in 1927.” Whilst Andrea Richardson asks: “Is there any way to find out which teams won this cup in previous years please? I have a photograph of a team with a cup that looks very similar but maybe from the 1920s?”Colin Hart has provided an update which may assist with: “Skinningrove Juniors were beaten in the North Riding Junior Cup final in 1921 then as Skinningrove Primitive Methodist Juniors went on to win the cup for five consecutive seasons.“

Not a very clear photograph and I couldn’t read what is on the banner at the back, can you? What is known is that it is an Ironstone Miner’s Lodge Banner. Simon Chapman has advised the Archive: “It’s the station yard at Brotton with the Methodist Chapel on the left with the distinctive decorative gable on the right.” Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection, also thanks to Eric Johnson and Chris Twigg for their efforts in attempting to identify the banner or the location; thanks to Simon Chapman for confirmation of the location.
A lovely photograph of a different football team, we don’t have many of the names perhaps you can fill in the blanks. Back row:- Jonty Smith, ??, ??, Albert Alexander, ??, Les Webster, ??, Charlie Smith?, ??, ? Fothergill.
Front Row:- ? Hodge, ??, Tom ’pop’ Wilkinson, ? Bullimoor, ??, ??, Jack Woodrow, Bernard Hamilton, seated at the front Mickey Smith.
Colin Hart now tells us: ”Jack Woodrow was born in 1910 so date could be mid to late 1920′s and it looks like the front of Timms Coffee House”. He also advises: “The trophy on the left is the same one as on the Carlin How Rovers photograph and if you notice, 2 name shields on the Carlin How photograph and 3 name shields on the Skinningrove photograph, so must be two consecutive years.” Keith Harding added: “Back row, first left is definitely Jonty Smith.”

This image from a printed postcard the Archive believe dates from the 1920’s (the only information on the reverse was ‘Juniors Football’); the Archive doesn’t know which year or any information about the teams. Derick Pearson advised: ”This is Carlin How football field. The goal is the Kilton Lane end of the pitch and in the distance at the left end of the houses can be seen Lower Cragg Hall farm. To the left of that and higher can be seen Upper Cragg Hall farm buildings and house among the trees. Herbert Farndale owned this when we were youngsters. I believe one of the teams was a Skinningrove works team. I lived in that left hand house in the late 1940s and we could watch the matches over our garden fence. This was what was fondly known as Bells Huts and is behind what is now the Bullet and Bayonet on Kilton lane. The foundry now stands exactly where that row of houses was.”The Archive also received from Angela Hamilton the following enquiry: “I am looking for a old friend called Nigel Farndale I hope you can point me in the right way thank you for your help.” Image courtesy of A. Frank; thanks to Derick Pearson for the update and can anybody assist Angela Hamilton with her quest?

A group of smartly dressed men all ready for the photographer proudly displaying the cups, once again it is Skinningrove. Colin Hart has told us: ”These are members of Skinningrove Workingmen’s Club and Institute, winners of several Quoits Cups and they are (viewing left to right) North of England Amateur Quoits Club Association Championship 1938, League Cup 1938 and Whitby Cup 1938”. They had a good year! In earlier years the team were North of England League Champions (Quoits) 1929 and North of England Cup Winners 1930; whilst Richard Wheatman was North of England Quoits Singles Champion in 1933, 1936 and 1938.
Back row; William (Bronco)Holliday, Lou Hall, James (Peps) Wheatman, F. Hall, James (Baggy) Ward (President), Harold Walker, N. (Honce) House, G. A. (Gilly) Glover.
Front row: Fred Smith, Richard (Dick) Wheatman (Vice Captain), Tom Hall (Captain), Richard (Dick) Garner, William (Billy) Flinton.
Polly Clinton advises: “Dick Wheatman was my grandad, who unfortunately passed away in January 1983.He often talked about his quoits playing days with fond memories. The Wheatman family moved to Grimethorpe near Barnsley, South Yorkshire around 1945 as far as I am aware. My dad Raymond and his remaining siblings still live in the Barnsley area. My dad has a photograph of his dad, Dick and his uncle Jim on the quoits team.” Whilst Keith Wheatman adds: “Fourth from left at the back is probably my grandad James (Jim) Wheatman. I was very young when he passed away so I cannot be entirely sure. Handsome chap though. I think I am related to Polly through my great uncle Dick. I do vaguely remember occasional visits from the relatives in Grimethorpe. Nice to see that the family is still thriving!”
