The image shows the border fence with Skinningrove Iron and Steel Works with the terminus of the aerial rope-way, (locally known as ’the buckets’ in the background), this rope-way brought ironstone into the works from Skinningrove mine. The bungalow roof on the right hand side is the top gatehouse or the planner’s building (1960’s terminology). Alan is pictured with possibly Isabell Tyreman and another youngster. We are told that Alan’s father kept various livestock in this area at the rear of Wesley Terrace, ducks can be seen in the foreground of this image.
