 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.

Kev Hamlinton also informs us:” This picture shows the old pumphouse at the end of Angling Green.” Image courtesy of Ken Loughran and thanks to Kev Hamlinton for that information.  A view of the former Co-op shop in Skinningrove, viewed from the entrance to Timms Coffee House. Such an imposing building in its heyday! From the days of long white aprons and the long wooden counters. Remember the ”dividend”, I can still remember mother’s number from 50 years ago! John Sarginson advises: “My grandfather opened this shop as it’s first manager. I have memories of what my mother told me of her time here around the time of World War 1.” Image courtesy of Joan Jemson; thanks to John Sarginson for the update.  A view over the fishing boats , to the jetty at Skinningrove. Some building work appears to be under way on the jetty wall, the Archive asked: “Perhaps some of our viewers can recognise the boats and who were the owners, and with a possible date?” Colin Hart tells us: ”The boat in the foreground WY26 named ”Progress” was owned by my Grandad Bob Hart, he lived at 143 Grove Hill and the boat was used for the Gala Queen procession in the Boatmans Gala each year as seen in other photographs in the Archive”. Kathleen Fenwick tells us: ”The man standing beside the boat is my great-uncle Charlie Langford, he lived 1, New Company Row, Skinningrove; his boat had only one stripe – 1 plank wide. Don’t know its name.” Image (a Frith’s Postcard) courtesy of Rita Unthank; also thanks to Colin Hart and Kathleen Fenwick for the updates. |
