The original title for this image (from a newspaper cutting) was “Why They’re Just Over The Rainbow”, Over The Rainbow was the musical the Carlin How Methodist Sunday School had been performing in 1924. Participants included Annie and Allice Watson, the Moody brothers of Carlin How, Harrison twins, Norah and Lily Harcourt, Hilda Bowling, Enid Goldby, Hilda Thornton, Vera and Stan Peggs, Alan Readman, Ivy May Mott, Sally and Edie Kitchen, and Ray and Connie Blacklock. Some of the children don’t look too happy even if they have been over the rainbow! Roger Barwick advised: “Hilda Bowling was my mam who married Syd Barwick in 1931. She is on the third row from the front and second from the right as you look at the picture. Mam was the daughter of Harold Bowling who was the first steward of the club. He moved to Carlin How from Hemsworth near Dewsbury in 1911 where he was the steward of the Soldiers and Sailors Club there. He moved from the club to take up the position of landlord of the Maynard Arms sometime in the late 1920s. 1929 (I think). I would appreciate any Information on my grandad or grandma.”

The Carlin How members of the Methodist Junior Missionary Association had raised by each child £5, and this was sent overseas. Certificates were given annually, as well as a medal in the first year and a bar in each successive year, that would be hard work when this photograph was taken. well done to them. With assistance we now have some names: Back row: ? Hume, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Middle row: ??, Barbara Annis, Alan Young, ??, ?? , ??, Stuart Stonehouse, Shirley Webster.

A lovely photograph of Skinningrove, not a lot has changed; the hospital has gone, as has Albion Terrace., which is the row of terraced houses in the foreground of our image. We asked can someone please help with was Albion Terrace once known as Long Row?
Peter Day asked: “Was this once called Albion Place? I have a family history going back and according to information they left, they once lived at Albion Place, which seems to no longer exist.”
Colin Hart advises: ”The terrace in the front of the picture is Albion Place which was demolished along with High Street, Chapel Street, Cliff Terrace and half of Marine Terrace in the 1980’s. Long Row is mentioned in one of the Skinningrove census records and the numbers are 1 to 28; the only street in Skinningrove with these numbers is New Company Row, built by Skinningrove Iron Co. When the terraced houses were built in the 1870′s they started at 1 Marine Terrace and the numbers continued until they ended with 172 Grove Hill.” Derick Pearson tells us: ”I may be wrong but I feel sure from my memories of old friends in the 1950s that this row of houses was once called YON FAR BACK by the locals.” Whilst Pauline Breeze asks: ”I am researching my family history back to Skinningrove, my great-grandparents were Will and Amelia (Wallace) Hart: 106 Albion Place, many great memories visiting them, my question is does anybody have any information on the people that lived there before them, William Smith family perhaps? Any info appreciated, also are you related to my family?”
There were also comments to this image regarding the Smith or Workman Smiths from Elaine, Easton family history from Christine Hindwell, from John Kennedy and his researches into Skinningrove history and Kathleen Hicks with comments about occupations of the occupants of Albion Place.
Many thanks to Peter Day, Colin Hart, Derick Pearson, Kathleen Hicks, Elaine, Christine Hindwell, John Kennedy and Pauline Breeze for these updates.
Now have we already posted a photograph like this? I can’t remember but I am sure someone will tell me if we have. A lovely clear photograph of where the road used to go before being re- routed. Duck Hole to the far right of the picture, with the works on the hill and in the right foreground is the path that led up to the railway station.
The caption of this photograph informed that it was taken in 1959, outside the Power Station which stood at the top of Queen Street at Carlin How, the Archive’s question is: “Does anyone recognise anyone in the picture?
Derick Pearson offered: “Third from left is Mr Nattrass, far right Mr Blenkey”, whilst Alan Found advised: ”Fourth from right (next to woman with baby) is William (Blucher ) Peggs, my grandfather.”Colin Verrill advises: “I think the man with the trilby is a Mr Agar. The person next to him is Frank Elders, just remembered his surname.”
