After asking for potential names, the responses filled the gaps; comments included; from Jackie Roe-Lawton: “Tommy Roe – my dad”, as well “Luvvy was my Sunday School teacher at the Congregational Chapel, just up from her house. She was always dressed VERY conservatively, even for 1960’s Staithes, until her mother; who she lived with, died. She was the talk of the village – she wore lipstick (Shock! Horror!), perfume and skirts where you could see her calves!! Also clothes that were bright colours! I vividly remember her being the talk of the village. When my mam stuck up for her; saying she was a woman full grown and surely she could do what she wanted; she was given what can only be called “old Fashioned Looks” by the Staithes women. Who forgave her – because she was from Middlesbrough, via Whitby (the family was evacuated during the World War II) – and she possibly couldn’t know any better!! I can’t be sure if Luvvy was so much under her mother’s thumb that she dared not dress herself as she wished when her mam was alive. She was a lovely kind person and a very good Sunday School teacher.”, Marion Smith with: “My dad Willie Wright still lives at Staithes”, as well as Bessie Hall with: “Thanks to Pat and Kay Heagney we hopefully named all the people on picture.
