The date is on the newspaper cutting, 24th. April 1934, from our cuttings file (in the main from the Evening Gazette); with all that remains of the Hippodrome at Brotton after a fire.

 Yes a lovely view looking down Boulby Bank before the Potash was built, dated 1967. Unfortunately a previous editor cropped the date off to get less of the sky. Russ Pigott comments: “Interesting that there appears to be the remains of a bridge parapet opposite the farm, this would have carried the coast railway over the A174. I presume the cottages that stand where CPL now is were for the former Boulby ironstone mine?” Image courtesy of Geoff Hore and thanks to Russ Pigott for the update.  Five nurses with their patient in the middle the three standing at the back are:- Joan Webster tells us: “My mam was cook at Brotton hospital she worked with the nurses on the photograph.” Michelle Atkinson also tells: “My gran; Peggy Smith was cook at Brotton hospital in the 1970s.” Ann Jackson commented: “My Mam Peggy Jackson worked in the kitchen on an evening in the 1970’s and cooked the food on a Sunday teatime. She left when we moved to live in Ormesby 1975-76.” Finally a question from Alison Bates: “Does anyone know of Sister Arabella? She was the Matron of Brotton cottage hospital in 1900.” The Archive has been able to answer part of Alison’s questions on the post “Cottage Hospital Brotton; we hope this assists.
 Outside Brotton Hospital with the works in the background are: Nurse Ward, Nurse Kitchener, Marjorie Magor and Sister Fawcett. Image courtesy of Marjorie Magor.  Pictured outside Brotton Cottage Hospital with Matron Hogg in the middle with Sister Robinson on the left and Sister Fawcett on the right. Notice the black shoes only white had been allowed earlier, yes check the earlier photographs! Image and information courtesy of Marjorie Magor.  About 1953/56 this photograph was taken. Back row: Miss Lishman, Daisy Codling, Nurse Hampton, Nurse Pollard, Nurse Booth, Nurse Cornforth, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Mavis Gray has advised the Archive: “Daisy Codling is second in on the back row, my husbands aunt she was cook at Brotton hospital.” Pamela McVay recalls: “I remember quite a few of these nurses, we lived on Lorne terrace and often ran down to the hospital when we were little and needed treatment!” Image and some names courtesy Marjorie Magor and thanks to Mavis Gray and Pamela McVay for the updates.  1898 was the date of this view and the Regatta is in full swing, as it makes it way up Khyber Pass, not quite as we see it today but I am sure everyone enjoyed themselves.  A break to have their photographs taken and then it’s back to work for Nurse Matthews, Matron Pauline Robinson, standing at the back. Front row:- Nurse Main, Nurse Barker, Nurse Smith, Nurse Brown, Nurse Hampton Sister Fawcett. Bill Dobson advises: “It was taken on 2nd September 1967 on the occasion of the Hospital Garden Fete. How do I know? Being the photographer I have the original slide along with two or three others!” Hazel Brown comments: “My mam, Nurse Brown(aka Sheila Grey), loved her job at Cottage Hospital. She often told us funny stories of the time she had there.” Whilst Miss J. A. Fox concludes with: “Oooh! This brings back memories! I have several similar photographs taken between 1958-1962 when I trained at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.” Image and names courtesy of Marjorie Magor, thanks to Bill Dobson, Hazel Brown and Miss J. N. Fox for the updates.  The nurses of Brotton Cottage Hospital trying out the new swing seat, believed to have been presented by the ’League Of Friends’ in 1953-1956. Can anybody assist with the missing names?  Patients of Brotton Hospital taking the air are (left to right): Mr Robert Holliday, Mr Pickney, ??, ??. There were very few care homes; the infirm and those unable to care for themselves lived at the hospital. |
