Were you one of these ladies on the lawn? We have some of the names and they are: Back row: Sally Green, Mary Dale, Mrs Fenby.
Front row: Dossie Rowland, Mrs Waton, ??, Mrs Rowland, Mrs ?.
David Bertam believes: ”Sally Green may have been the wife of Bill Green, a worker at Easington Hall Farm. I remember them living in Morehead Terrace in the late 1970s/early 1980s; a devoted, good honest Yorkshire couple; Bill with his hens; Sally making brawn.” Martyn Lonsdale confirms this: ”Yes, Sally Green was the wife of Bill Green; they had two daughters Joyce and Jennifer. They lived in Morehead Terrace for the rest of their lives; Sally passing away in the 1990’s and Bill about ten years later. Sally and Bill are my grandparents, I’m a son of Jennifer Green.” Whilst Mike Leyland adds: “I bought 4 Morehead Terrace Easington in 1996 where Bill and Sally lived since the 1940’s. Sally died in 1990 and Bill died in 1995. Bill was ARP warden and I have some of his ARP documents. I remember Joe Fenby in his later years, he was often sat by his front door playing his harmonica.” Whilst Deborah Garbutt concludes with: “Joe Fenby was my dad’s uncle, my dad was born and lived at 3 Morehead Terrace. I remember Bill and Sally Green as a child growing up and Joan Spenceley; my dad’s auntie Lena lived at 2 Morehead Terrace, my grandma was Doreen Garbutt 3 Moorehead Terrace.”

The Suckling family, at their home of 1 Railway Terrace Carlin How (now 44 Brotton Road); it hasn’t changed much has it? We are told the building to the left of this house was a water tower which at one point had a dodgy ladder up the side, now demolished.
