The title told us it was Harry Rayson’s wedding, Kate Webster was his bride and the wedding was in 1917. We asked ”But where was the wedding?”, Sheila Drinkhall advised that it was at Brotton; further researches have shown that Kate was the eldest daughter of Thomas Webster, Confectioner of Front Street, Carlin How. Harry is wearing the uniform of a Bombardier in the Royal Garrison Artillery (part of the Royal Field Artillery).
Many thanks to both Nivard Ovington and Sheila Drinkhall for their assistance in our researches.
Ruth Davison far right was married to Eric son of the landlord and landlady of the Maynard Arms, Carlin How; Thomas Harrison Davison and Fern (nee Grocock, pre 1923). Good head on those pints Fern.
The children from Boulby Cottages all dressed up to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V. Sitting in the front row, from the left: Stan Fletcher, Lance Easton, and John and Raymond Conn. Also suggested that the pilgrim hatted girl in back row is Iris Roberts (?); also seated in front possibly enjoying a lolly is Marian Roberts (?). Do you know any of the others?
The framework that can be seen on the cliff top, behind the second and third child at the left, is the tower of the aerial ropeway for Grinkle Mine. Shale was tipped there.

Not a very good image but after more than a 100 years what can we expect? It’s lovely to see the women in their ‘Steers’ bonnets, a tradition long gone now, looks as though they have had a good catch. The lady at the front with back to camera; wearing a black bonnet which signifies she is in mourning for a family member.
The fish are being auctioned in this photograph, although it doesn’t look like they have had a very good day fishing. C. W. Barker, writing on behalf of her granddad tells us: ” The auctioneer is near definitely Mr James, possibly a first name to follow.” Following researches the Staithes museum has enabled some of the naming of participants in the auction; Dick Thompson, Isaac Ellis, Tom Frank Harrison, ??, ??, Dick Humphrey, ??, John James (Auctioneer), Jim Turnbull, ??, Willie Cole, Ned Verrill, ? Porritt, ??.

Steveanson and Dixon Street in Carlin How held a party in 1945 to celebrate the end of World War II; some of the people present are identified on the image. However Derick Pearson also told us: “Also on the right hand row is Mrs Kitchiner who lived in the bottom house on the left of the street; she had a garden at the side of the tennis courts where she kept hens and ducks; her daughter Ada worked in Ainsley’s shop for years. Mrs Thornton, Hilda Rawlings; as well as Lancasters, Doweys, Hudsons, Tilburns and Robinsons are all in this photograph. The tables were set about about four houses up the street between Steveanson Street and Dixon Street. The School can be seen at the top of the photograph, Carlin How club hall where the dances were held for years was directly behind the photographer.”
