The second image supplied by Owen Rooks who told us: ” The two images are of the same dramatic event. One still had the “Pitchforth – Saltburn” tag attached. Having been professionally produced, the photographs may portray a significant event. I’ve labelled them as “school play” but it could be something else. The only person I can identify is a cousin named Elsie Greensitt (b 1914) who lived with her family at 21 Boulby Cottages from approx 1919 to 1925. She appears to be aged 6 or 7 years old when these pictures were taken. Elsie is seated behind and to the immediate right of the group of small girls at front of stage on this image. I am right in thinking that Pitchforth was better known for studio portrait photography? He seems to have ventured out of Saltburn on location for these pictures! ” Can we have assistance in naming both people and location.
