A group of men and we wonder where have they been or where are they going? Some of the men are: Back row: Arthur Tompson, Reg Wilson, Jock Walker, Al Caley, Dick Garner, Nelson Downes. Front row: Terry Hall, George Caley, John Hall, Jim Caley, Malcolm Hill (small boy front), Johnny Wilson, Billy Wilson. Colin Hart advised us: ”The photograph was taken near the bridge in the square, with Zetland Row in the background.” Whilst Margaret Fotheringham told us: “The one with the hat in between Jock Walker and Dick Garner is Al Caley . The one next to Terry Hall is George Caley; in this photograph are five members of my family.” Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection, Colin Hart and Margaret Fotheringham (nee Wilson) for the updates.
We asked why are the flags and bunting out and who are the men? We thought it was Skinningrove and now Colin Hamlinton offers us the following information: ”Judging by the apparent age of the people in the photograph I would guess that the buntings are out to celebrate the end of WWII. The Hamlinton family brothers and their father Thomas were all called “Brom” because they came from West Bromwich during the great depression in the 1920s where Thomas Hamlinton was a safe maker. Norman the eldest brother was called “Ginger Brom” because of the colour of his hair. All the brothers were keen fishermen and the name of the family boat was ‘Shamrock’. It was eventually sold to a fisherman at Whitby. North end of the Hamlinton family boat house which was situated next to the Coast Guard Hut”, he also identifies several of those present: ”Person far left Bernard Hamlinton. Second from left Norman Hamlinton third from left Stivvy (Stevenson??). Fourth from left Wilf Hamlinton. The gentleman third from the right on the back row looks like my father Thomas Wilfred (Wilf) Hamlinton. He used to get “Brom” as did all his brothers.”

Skinningrove Gala Queen, the girls look pleased to be there but I am not sure about the boys. Dawn Holliday advised: “I was the Gala Queen featured in this photograph and I think it was in 1969 or 1970. The attendants were Pauline Carlin, Carole Stone, John Dowson and Neil Winspear.”
So now we know we know: Pauline Carlin, Carole Stone (attendants), Dawn Holliday (Gala Queen), John Dowson, Neil Winspear (attendants).
Babsy Holliday commented: “That’s my big sister Dawn as Gala Queen; I’m so proud of my dad Pem Holliday for all the photographs he took of the village that meant so much to him.”

The end of the Cinderella pantomime at Skinningrove, Mr Lacey at the left hand side, Mrs Lacey far right; Doreen Pearson and Edan Rowe are there, we asked for any more of the names. Tom Sayers tells us: ”This is almost certainly the Institute at Skinningrove. The shows opened in the Institute and ran all week. They then went, “on tour” to Loftus; in a wooden building up Micklow Lane, and in The Black Bullit up Kilton Lane. The Miners Institute is long gone. It stood behind the War Memorial and the OAP bungalows.” This also explains Rita Beckham believing that St Helen’s church hall was involved, possibly part of the ”tour aspect” of the pantomime. Celia Kentfield tells us: ”The panto was Cinderella and was in the Miners Institute at Skinningrove. It was put on by the Methodist Chapel Skinningrove. The panto ran all week, bus trips came from Staithes and other surrounding villages. Full house every night – admission by ticket only. The people standing are (left to right): Mr Lacey, Les Webster, Tom Seymour, Doreen Pearson, Edna Rowe, Ike Page, Ron Webster (killed in air crash whilst in RAF) and Mrs Lacey. On the stage, too many to name, all were members of the Sunday school and Chapel.”
