 This photograph of Loftus Bank was taken by Mike Grange on 3rd June, 1972. The ridges in the field behind Kilton Mill are the site of the Australian Army camp in WWI. Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards.  Lovely old photograph of Kilton Mill, the only sign of the works on the hill being the tall chimney showing over the skyline, can anyone date this photograph?
A colourful, tinted Frith postcard, showing views of Loftus. A note on the back of the card says that it was bought in 1968. Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards.
A similar card to the one above, showing a different set of images of Loftus. Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards.  Yes it really is a beached whale; this photograph was taken about in May 2010 at the foot of the cliffs leading from Hummersea beach towards Boulby. Image courtesy of Julie Morrison.  Micklow Cottages were at the triangle junction of Micklow Lane and the the road to Street Houses from Skiningrove. Demolished in the 1960s and originally known as Micklehow Cottages they were one of the four collections of cottages originally developed for the alum workers of Hummersea and Boulby. Image and information courtesy of Eric Johnson.  Originally par to a postcard which included the caption: “Wayside Cottage: There’s a yearning for our rural roots sparked by remembrances such as this one of Mill Bank Loftus, where the invitation to peep inside a wayside cottage is encouraged by smoke curling from its chimney”. Such a caption says it all; peace and tranquillity. Image courtesy of Mike Holliday.
