Believed to be a view of Loy House, on Loy Lane; but we are unsure. Can anybody assist in identifying this building?

 An early 20th century postcard view of Egton Bridge and the river Esk; how quiet it all seems. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This postcard view was un-posted and we have no knowledge of the publisher; however from the handwritten inscription it is believed to be from the early 20th century. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah
This view of the double bridge at Claphow, on the road connecting New Skelton to Lingdale; shows a time much quieter for traffic. Pity the poor modern-day horse driver if he attempted to drive in the middle of the road!  This image of Zetland Road clearly shows the ‘old’ shops (certainly surviving till the late 1950s), although this image is post 1906. The Congregational church on the corner of Westfield Terrace can be clearly seen, which is a bit hint! Obviously a quiet day, the statutory . Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection.  This J. Salmon postcard, although used dates from a similar period, but is equally well preserved.  This Valentine’s postcard view of the lower Spa bank, Bank café and with Huntcliffe beyond dates from the 1940s or 1950s. As it is unused it is still in remarkable condition.
Post marked 1905, this Frith’s postcard view of Skelton church. The church was consecrated in 1884, this image possibly dates from shortly after that date.  This multi-view postcard from the ‘Jay Em Jay Series’ is from the early part of the 20th century. The promenading ladies in the earlier view must have had to hold on to their hats on windy days? Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This Frith’s postcard view is of Saltburn Parish church over open fields of the area now occupied by Hilda Place. It bears the message: “For the best Furnished Houses and Apartments, apply to W. Rapp & Sons Ltd., House & Estate Agents, Saltburn-by-the-sea.” Dating the card is more problematical, only the western side of Hilda Place had been built by 1920, so the image is probably from the late 19th century. Christine Pollard assists with: “The foundation stone for the tower was laid on 7th August 1900 and the tower dedicated on the 5th April 1902. The chancel was rebuilt after the Great War in 1914-18 and the upper east windows were dedicated to the fallen men on the 10th December 1922, so this photograph was somewhere after 1902.” |
