The Watson sisters of Carlin How; Alice, Annie and Bessie. The 1911 Census in addition lists the children as: Bessie 6, Alice 4 and Annie 3, which means there are discrepancies between the date of this image and the Census data. Derick Pearson confirms this fact. Can anybody assist? Grateful thanks to Gabby Moggie and Derick Pearson for information received.
Thomas and Jane we are am surmising are the parents, with from left to right; Rita, Elsie, William and Kate, are there any families of these still in the area? Derick Pearson tells us: ”I believe Dorothy Limon (nee Webster) is a Grandchild of these, and if so The Mini Market along Brotton road at Carlin How is owned by Great Grandchildren of these folks. Andrew, Sarah etc.” Image from a collection created by Derick Pearson and thanks to Derick for that update.
The Archive had received several copies of CD Roms of local images, each of which contained this image; already marked with the names of the participants; they were Scouts from 1st Carlin How Boy Scout Troop. The participants (back row): T. Andrews, J. Fawcett (St John’s Ambulance Brigade?), A. Steggar. Front row: Charlie Sommers, C. Wood, W. Goldby. The Archive still asks where was the photograph taken? Since then the Archive has been advised by Derick Pearson: “Yes I have an unmarked copy as this was from the CD Rom I compiled. I put both on it. I will submit an unnamed one. Would have done this in the first place had it not been placed on site by someone else.” Image courtesy of Stan Ward was originally from a collection originally produced as part of ‘Carlin How in Times Past’ in the 1980’s; compiled by Derick Pearson. The present image courtesy of Carlin How Community Centre.
This image must be from the late 1980’s (electric lawnmower) so can this young lady identify herself? I bet that grass took some cutting! Linda Cocks has come to the rescue: “This little lady is my daughter, Emma born 1986; granddaughter of Doris Johnson. So this picture must of been taken 1989 or 1990.”
Four young speed merchants if the caption is to be believed! We asked who are they and where are they? Derick Pearson believes the image was taken on Brotton Road in Carlin How: ”Looking from the entrance of the Carlin How ambulance station on Brotton Road; Stonehouse’s garage would be on the right and the second part of Brotton road would be to the left. The raised railtrack in the rear going to the left toward Crag Hall and Warsett hill.” We said we would like to have the identity of these ”speed kings”; Alan Franks tells us: “The young fellow on the right is my Dad, George Franks. Derick is probably right for the location, my Dad lived at Carlin How, first at Queen Street, then Brotton Road (Oxford Terrace then). His Dad, my Grandad worked on the Fab Shop and was killed there in 1924. His Mam lived with us until she died in1955, we lived in Redcar then.” Can anybody assist with any other names?
Another view of the Tivoli Theatre, with a line of ”relaxed” gentleman seated outside. Anybody any ideas as to names? One suggestion from Kathleen Kelly is that the gentleman second from left could be Charles Biott?

Doris Johnson photographed by Eric Johnson (a regular contributor to this site – with numerous supporting and informative comments). Eric still does not know where he took the photograph. Can anybody else help? Image courtesy of Eric Johnson.
Foundation stone laying ceremony of the ill-fated chapel at the end of High Row and Hartington Street; this postcard image by T C Booth of Loftus shows an array of younger members of the potential congregation or were they just keen to get in the picture? This building had to be demolished following the landslip in 1927, being relocated to Deepdale Road. Marjorie Magor tells us: ” Many people (bought a brick) hence the initials on the sandstone one`s. I know my family did (DADD) Also the (ELDERS) family on Cliffe Crescent.” Yet again no further details of date, people involved etc. Can anybody help? Image courtesy of Mrs Dilys Thompson and thanks to Marjorie Magor for the update.
Fred Rivet pictured outside the shop which was situated across the forecourt from his garage, with to his right, Jean Duck (nee Busomworth) and her sister-in-law Florrie Duck in 1973. Mrs Duck was a United bus conductress, her husband Alan had bought the garage at the time; he demolished the little shop when he bought the garage. In its lifetime had been many things, including a sweet and ice cream shop with tables outside. Image and information courtesy of a Loftus Town Crier calendar.
Ever wondered what your grandparents did on an evening (apart from make clippie mats)? Well, they danced to live entertainment. This is the old (wooden) Church Hall in Brotton which Neil Abram tells us: ”the old parish hall was NOT in the church grounds but the other side of the “black ash” footpath…. about where St Margarets Way is now”. Alan Franks tells us: ”My mam and dad are on this photograph, dad is right at the back off centre right, and mam sat at the front next to the man off centre right again. I don’t think they were married then, they married in 1935 I think.” Image courtesy of Julie Riddiough and many thanks to Neil Abram for the correction details, also to Colin Hart and Alan Franks for updates.
