A lovely photograph of local fishermen on Skinningrove beach (jetty visible in the background); the man standing on the back of the tractor is Terry Hall do you know the names of any of the others? Please tell.
More information came from Marie Cox who advised: “the man driving the tractor is William (Bill) Cox my dad and the man on the outside of the boat is Terry Hall’s son Steven.” Mr Cox driving the tractor, the man in the boat known by most as Dixie and the man outside the boat is the son of Terry Hall, the owner of the boat.

On the back of this photograph (produced by the photographer Greenbank of Carlin How) is written: ‘On August 10th, 1927 in Bell’s Farm grounds Salvation Army children’s picnic, Reggie and Kenneth were there and they were all taken on Tom Dart’s coal cart. The lady on the right standing is Sally Padgett and the lady kneeling on the right is Mrs Allsop.”
Do you know anyone else that is there? Note how clean everybody looks, obviously the cart was well cleaned for such an outing!
Bells Farm is what is now known as Kilton Hall Farm, Kilton Lane. The bank up which you travel from Carlin How, used to be called Bells bank, later Blackett’s bank and until recently Ramsey Hall’s bank (Ramsay Hall was father of Richard Hall the present occupant of Kilton Hall). Fiona Jenner writes: ”I was very interested to see this photograph as I think it includes my great-great grandfather Thomas Dickinson Wright (third from right on the back row). He was originally from Boston in Lincolnshire but married a Yorkshire girl Anne Smith in Loftus. They moved around quite a bit but in 1917 were living in Tin City in Boulby. Their link to Skinningrove could be that one of their daughters, Elsie, married a Shelley and lived there (Tina Dowey’s grandmother)”.

Well I don’t know what is happening here, looks as though the boys have been busy and they are (left to right): Eric Rowe, John Winspear, George Wilson and Norman Trattles. This is the last photograph that has been loaned of the pantomimes in Skinningrove Institute; unless of course you have some we can borrow, if so take them or any other old photographs of people and places in and around Loftus, into the Youth and Community Centre, Duncan Place, Loftus. With full details of your name and address, they will be copied and returned back to you as soon as possible.

Yes take a very close look at these little Dutch girls or are they? No they are little Dutch boys; taken at one of the pantomimes in the Institute at Skinningrove in the 1950’s. The boys (Left to right) are: Laurence Smith, John Winspear, Eric Rowe and Alec Cuthbert, I don’t think any of them grew up with an inferiority complex, don’t blame me for the photograph it was lent it by one of the boys. Sorry gentlemen.

Two gaffers enjoying a smoke and a yarn outside Timm’s Coffee House in Skinningrove after coming off shift. Now known to be Bill (Drummer) Wilson on left and Alf Roe. A rather grand name for a working class pub, but one that has stuck – it is the only pub in the village, the Working Men’s Club and Institute having ”gone to the wall” some years ago. Notice the low-level hatch for beer deliveries and the ornate gate posts – Timms Coffee House was used as a coffee house. in the 18th century it was a luxury item and quite expensive. It was where the gentry of the time would meet. The building was built by Tim Maynard’s father in law John Easterby M.P. to replace the Old Hall, the present day Post office.

Dr Donaldson with some of his staff at the Miner’s Hospital in Skinningrove taken about 1925; the date of this photograph was written on the bottom, but does anyone know the names of the staff? Isn’t he proud of his bike? Tony Nicholson advised: “I’m interested in tracing Emily Elgey; the Matron of the Miner’s Hospital from 1902 until her death in 1924. I found several of Emily’s letters in my attic. Sadly, I don’t have a photograph of her, but I wonder if this might be her? (i.e. the nurse standing beside Dr. Donaldson). I know the photograph has ‘1925’ written on the bottom, but could it be earlier? The nurse’s uniform looks Edwardian to me, although I’m not an expert . Didn’t uniforms became less elaborate in the 1920s? Perhaps it’s wishful thinking on my part (because I want this to be Emily!) but the whole photograph has a more Edwardian feel than something from the 1920s?
Was this Dr. Donaldson the same Dr. Donaldson who was the House Surgeon at North Riding Infirmary, Middlesbrough? If so, he was born in 1876 and would have been 49 in 1925. A bit too old for the chap in the photograph, notwithstanding his baldness? Might he have come to Skinningrove to perform operations? I doubt he would have biked over in the 1920s (probably had a car) but might have done so in the Edwardian era. Needless to say, I would welcome any help in tracing Emily, and particularly a photograph of her”.
Many thanks to Tony Nicholson for the information and the Archive has suppled any information regarding Emily to assist in his researches.
The Archive asks can anybody help in the identification of these members of the nursing staff, with Dr Donaldson and presumably a porter of the Skinningrove Hospital demolished in 1940s? Derick Pearson believe the gentleman on the left may have been Doctor Donaldson. He bears a considerable resemblance to a previous image of the nursing staff at Skinningrove.
