This photograph shows William Halton (on the back row, far right), with his parents William and Ann Halton. Also in the photograph are his sisters Ann, Ada and Edith. William Halton (younger) was a watchmaker, born in 1869 and had a Jeweller’s shop in Loftus High Street for many years. A delightful family photograph from the Pitchforth studio in Saltburn. Ben Chapman commented: “I have a trench watch inscribed ‘Wm Halton , 2 Dundas St., Saltburn. Could this be his watch ?”. The Archive believes that prior to opening the shop in Loftus he may have had premises in Saltburn, as the 1891 Census reveal that William Halton was living in Saltburn at Montrose Street; his father being an architect.
