Believed to have been taken at 22 Wood Street, Carlin How, Caroline Callow tells us: ”I believe he worked in Skinningrove and have found reference to him being involved in a fatal accident in Skinningrove on 26 June 1880.” This image and Caroline’s comments produced comments. Derick Pearson being confused by the reference to involvement with a fatal accident felt: “Is it possible that your photo was actually taken in the 1940s? That would seem to fit and agree with Joys report and also would fit with the age of the house.” Also Lynn O’Neill (nee Peggs) queries: “I was born in 22 Wood Street in April 1946. My family name was Peggs. We lived with my Grandparents – Charlie and Sarah Peggs. We moved to East Loftus in 1947 and my grandparents moved to Coronation Street – also in Carlin How – I think around 1950. I remember 22 Wood Street fairly well – and I don’t remember the lintel bricks (is that the correct term?) above the door and window. Haven’t been there in years, I understand that Wood Street was demolished some years ago.”
