 The reverse of this postcard view of Redcar sands is postmarked 21st May 1917. However the dress of the participants in the scene would probably date it to pre World War I. Especially as postcard production during World War I could have been viewed as ‘against the nation’s interest! Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  Our Aero Films postcard view of Cleveland Grammar School is from the 1960’s. Cecily Cochrane enquires: “Wondering if anyone has more photos of Cleveland Grammar school?” Image courtesy of a friend of East Cleveland Image Archive, can anybody assist with Cecily Cochrane’s enquiry?  The Queen’s Hotel on Redcar High Street, now long gone; can anybody remember when? Stephen Holden suggests: “Queen’s Hotel miust have disappeared sometime after 1968. I recall my grandfather bought me a shandy as a kid there and we sat outside one hot summers day that year.” Image courtesy of Olive Bennett, thanks to Stephen Holden for the update.  Post marked 1914, this postcard view produced by J. Nelson of Marske; shows Cliff House. Built in 1844 by Joseph Pease as a summer residence; (he owned Upleatham Mines) and father of Henry Pease, it is now a retirement home. Jackie Farrell Barnett asks: “So did the Pease family own this and “Teddys Nook” at the top of Saltburn bank?” It is believed that Henry Pease MP had the cottage of Teddy’s Nook. Whilst Stephen Holden comments: “It looks so different now as the sand is now almost level with the walkway.”  Another Nelson of Marske, postcard view of the upper High Street; again postmarked 1914. Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  Now familiarly known as the Natwest (the National Provincial became the National Westminster finally shortening to its present title); the bank still stands in the same situation on Redcar High Street. The image is from a ‘Sepiatone’ postcard dating from the early 20th century. Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  A view of Redcar seafront, between Redcar pier and Coatham pier; possibly before the promenade was built in the 1880’s. Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive.  The Ship Inn at Marske dominates the approach of the coast road from Redcar. It is situated at the point where Marske High Street veers down into the valley area towards the beach. Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive.  A further view, possibly even earlier in the 20th century than our other view.
