A post card view of the normally quiet stream through the centre of Skinningrove; taken from a C O Smelt postcard, date as yet unknown. This image created a stir when first posted and attracted comments from: Derick Pearson with: “I cannot remember the weir in the center of Skinningrove village as it says in the caption.” He went on to suggest the viaduct area with two possibilities. Elizabeth Mellor suggested near the pump house on the jetty. Colin Hart advised”There was always a drop in the level of the beck under the railway bridge at the top of Zetland Row. The background looks like the stone from the railway bridge and the brick wall(top right) will be the wall around the school yard.” A. Andrew confirmed this suggestion with: “This looks like the pump house weir, near Angling Green.” Further researches by the Archive have confirmed this suggestion.
