Duncan McBurney advised: “Mrs.Burnside’s first name was Margaret.

Norman thanking some of the nursing staff at Guisborough hospital, were you among that staff? Ray Tough tell us: ”I think this photograph was Norman saying thank you and goodbye to the nursing staff for his treatment at Chaloner Hospital, Guisborough after his stay there.” Image courtesy of Loftus Town Council and thanks to Ray Tough for the update.
Lots of official chains in view and Norman is on the far back left but who else is there and what was the do? Peter Appleton has advised: “The gentleman third from the right looks to me like it might be a young Bob Brunger. He was, for part of his life, chairman of Skelton & Brotton Urban District Council. If my identification is correct then this gathering looks like a gathering of dignitaries from the various local authorities and the date must be before 1974, when the U.D.C.s were abolished. It is possible that Bob might be able to supply additional names.” The Archive will ensure Bob Brunger has sight of hopefully improved image and assist in other identification; the Archive also believes that the lady to the right of Bob Brunger is Audrey Collins.

Known to be 1991, in James Finnegan Hall, which was used form many Langbaurgh Council functions, but why? Ray Tough told us: “The lady on the left of the photo was Mrs Ena Garbutt.” Left to right: Mrs Ena Garbutt, Betty Rankin, Arthur Harvison (Mayor of Langbaurgh), Mrs Harvison, Norman Lantsberry.

A presentation for Norman, Ray Tough told the Archive: “Norman is presenting this lovely carriage clock to Terry the Mayor’s Attendant and Chauffeur.” Image courtesy of Loftus Town Council and thanks to Ray Tough for the update.
The cigar is a big one and there must have been a good joke made as the group are all laughing. Once again we know Norman and Mayoress Hilda Barwick featured again in the Council Chamber at Eston Town Hall; but can you name any of the others in the photograph? Better still were you there? Image courtesy of Loftus Town Council and thanks to Ray Tough for assistance with names and the location.
We now know this to have been in the Council Chamber in Eston Town Hall, as Ray Tough advised: “Yes it was the council chamber at Eston Town Hall.” But the Archive was also hoping for confirmation about the group of children and Norman are admiring the official chain of office. The coat of arms in the background: “United We Endeavour” then Langbaurgh and now Redcar and Cleveland coat of Arms are a feature in the Council Chamber. Are you in this photo?
