Guisborough Football Club 1905

We have names for all the members of this 1905 team for Guisborough, but we particularly like the two gentlemen on the right, complete with bowler hats!

Back row: A. Old, G. Stevenson, T. Smith, J. Kirkconell, H. Mann, W. G. Batterbee, C. Peacock (Captain), J. Coulthard, W. Pybus, H. Bowmaker.
Front row: R. Wright, T. Pattinson, R. Williams, T. Darnton, W. Pearson, A. Williams, C. B. Robson (Trainer). Penny Hoskins comments: “My grandfather was W. Pearson, seated second from left on front row. I have a silver medal that he won in 1903-4 season. So excited and rather emotional seeing this as I never met him and have no clear photographs of him. Thank you .”

Miss Loftus 195?

Miss Loftus being presented with her trophy and sash by a Loftus Urban District Councillor. We think this looks like Miss Rita Ward (later Unthank) but can anybody confirm? Also we need help with the name of the Councillor. Jean Brown advised: “Definitely Rita, I remember the occasion.”

Twenty First Dinner Dance

I would have loved to have seen them at this dance; dinner jackets for the men and long dresses for the ladies! Were you there, can you tell us about it?

Mummy

Is this for a fancy dress or for a Youth Club performance? Who is making the mummy can you name her?

Three Beauties

Judging must have been difficult as these three ladies posed for Miss Loftus. The winner was Doreen Magor on the left with Eileen Money next to her and Betty Shaw on the right.

Do You Remember Donald Peers?

Pictured at Loftus County Youth Club when he came to open their Christmas Bazaar; Donald Peers, singing star was presented with a pair of cufflinks by Judith Dobson a member of the Club. At the opening Donald commented about the criticism often generated against the younger generation “I wish I was young enough to wear jeans; in my young days it was oxford bags.” James Wilks assists with: “Donald Peers (10 July 1908 – 9 August 1973) was a popular Welsh singer. His best remembered rendition and signature song was “In a Shady Nook by a Babbling Brook”.
