Taken from Carlin How; this shows the valley off nicely, but sadly Primrose Hill is starting to be demolished.

 A lovely tinted image (from a postcard) of the cross loaned to us by Joyce Dobson. You don’t see Giusborough like this now. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson.  Do you remember The Ship Inn like this? The buildings behind the Ship Inn were various chalets, I remember cows grazing on Cat Nab. Pat Sparkes recalls: “I remember they use to have an old WWII mine in the car park as a collecting money sadly all that was left was a pile of rust last time we called in to the pub.  One more of Joyce Dobson’s postcards, at first glance it looks rather modern but then looking closer you can see that it is a beautifully tinted old photograph. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson.  A cart – double horse drawn – starts the climb of Loftus ‘Mill’ bank, in the background is Carlin How (Duckhole) mine which started production in 1873. In the field below the mine you can see rows of prefabricated dwellings which were built in 1915 to house miners brought to replace those engaged in the war. It is now known they were used to accommodate Australian servicemen during the same period. The only buildings still recognisable are Kilton mill and house in the foreground. Susan Brown adds: “My maternal grandfather Joseph Holliday worked at the Duckhole mine. I think my gran’s second husband Frank Cuthbert may have worked there too.“ Image courtesy of Keith Bowers; many thanks to Howard Wilson for an update regarding the Australian connection, also thanks to Susan Brown for the update.  Thanks to Mrs. S. Dohring for this photograph of her uncle’s shop window, dressed for the coronation of king George VI in 1937. The shop was at 32, Zetland Road, Loftus.

I hadn’t realized the scale of these falls until I noticed the young woman (Janet Codling?) sitting on the rocks below. Bill Watkinson comments: “Is Janet Wilson the former Janet Codling. If so hi and give your brother Dave my regards.” Image courtesy of Janet Wilson (nee Codling), thanks to Bill Watkinson for the update.  A view of Liverton church, taken in January, 1982. A very wintery scene; just as well it was not the day for a wedding! Image courtesy of Mrs. J. Wilson. |
