A view, produced by J.W. Neal of 79 High Street Skelton; also from about 1890 viewing towards the Methodist Chapel at the bottom of Green Road (Skelton Green bank to those who were familiar with Skelton). Judy Last advises: “My maternal great grandparents; William and Mary Armstrong, lived at 71 High Street with two of their daughters, Louisa and Emma Jane. They were there from at least 1871 when they moved from 2 Woods Yard, East Terrace. William an ex Royal Artillery soldier, and now Ironstone Miner, was Verger of All Saints Church. Two of William and Mary’s daughters, Harriet and Emma Jane, became school teachers. Emma Jane teaching at Stanghow Lane School.”

Another postcard with views of Guisborough, some of the views are now no more; Hutton Hall has gone and the road at Newton under Roseberry is now much changed.

Hutton Village was known from1871 as Thomas Town, but the name was changed in 1880 after Joseph Pease planted many trees to beautify the area. He also built a school for the children of his estate workers and a mission as a place of worship. This image now known to be a Phoenix series postcard dating from the early 1900s and beautifully hand tinted has come to the Archive; obviously a well liked view of the village close to Guisborough.
