 J. W. Knaggs (Upholsterer, cabinet maker and undertaker) with his wife Elizabeth Mary; pose outside their shop at 59/61 Westgate, Guisborough. He was Parish Clerk to Guisborough Parish Council for 13 years until his death in 1885. His wife and family carried on the business until its closure in the 1960’s. Image courtesy of J W Knaggs from an original image courtesy of Kirkleatham Museum collection.  This photograph of the truck was taken in the old Council yard; just off Walkers Row in Guisborough. Clearly the Council was into snappy advertising even then! Image and information courtesy of Howard Wilson.  Rather strange to see Guisborough like this; the view of the road is now obscured by the estate of newer houses added in the 1970’s. What date would you put on this photograph? Ann Findlay advises: ” The field opposite was used when the Fair came to town.”
A part of Guisborough not seen by many visitors but still an attractive row of cottages; originally occupied by workers on the Guisborough estate. Today the road serves as a route to Guisborough Rugby Club and the Eglinton Avenue area of the town; a much busier lane than that featured in this postcard view. Image from a collection compiled by Derick Pearson. |
