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.
An image of the Class of 1956 at Sacred Heart School, a beautiful old Victorian School. Middle row: Edward Ward, Anthony Pragnel, Brian Robson, Carmel Hainsworth, Pat Chaplin, Leah Walsh, Pat Harker, Margaret McLaren, Mary Buchanon, Lynne Cush, Leo Murphy, Tug Wilson. Front row: Sheila McGarell, Ann Hamill, Ann Millett, Ann Delmar, Mr. Turley (Sports Master), Eileen Chester, June Walshaw, Josephine Cassidy, Pat Robinson, Winnie Wood. Michael Martin tells us: ”I am in this picture, I am on the back row second from right. It is also the last school photograph as I left to move to Milan, Italy.” Image courtesy of Norman Patton; thanks to Josie Etches, Winnie Stevenson (nee Wood), Tony and Norman Patton for all the names; also thanks to Michael Martin for the update.
A peaceful image of the water as it flows under the viaduct and on to the sea at Skinningrove.Norman Patton commented: “In my lifetime, I cannot remember floods at Skinningrove in the days when the beck had this much water flowing. ie. prior to the construction of Scaling dam. Have I got this wrong?” Derick Pearson advised: “This photograph here however has the same three persons on it as another photograph (next image on the Archive), which was taken the same day about an hour later”. Despite the comments to the image, the Archive is aware that the beck at Skinningrove is not affected by any possible outflow from Scaling Dam, as this emerges at Staithes; the overflow from Lockwood Beck flows via Kilton Beck. The image is taken from a George Skilbeck postcard and dates from the 1940’s. Many thanks to Kathleen Hicks for the Lockwood Beck information, also thanks to Derick Pearson and Norman Patton for their memories of the beck flooding.
Another view (but facing the opposite way!) of the same flood conditions, dating from the 1940’s; from a postcard by George Skilbeck. Image courtesy of Derick Pearson and information regarding figures in the image. |
