 An afternoon photograph of Skinningrove beach and Skinningrove works on the hill. The boats are drawn up the beach, ready to load the crab pots. A pile of them at the side of the nearest boat which has a Whitby registration. Help is needed with boat names and owners. Image courtesy of Ken Loughran.  An early image of the Square at Carlin How complete with donkey cart. The cart’s board has the tradesman’s name (not clear) Loftus; date c.1900. Rita Beckham tells us: ”These houses later became shops; from the left Porrits, a Barbers, Post Office run by the Richelieu (two sisters and a brother who I believe were Jewish refugees); Sylvesters off-licence and sweets; the Co-operative, Grocery, Drapery, & Butchers; next one I think was the fish and chip shop. We lived opposite at number 10. Derick Pearson tells us: ”The Barber at the time Rita mentions of the late 1940s to early 1950s was named Mr Webster; a silver-haired gent who would tap you with his hair brush if you didn’t sit still. The fish shop at that time was owned by a family called Dack. One member of the Dack family was Manager at Kilton Ironstone mine prior to this and if my memory serves me right, he shot himself.” Image courtesy of Pat Bennison; thanks to Rita Beckham and Derick Pearson for the updates.
