 Wharton Arms Skelton; the landlady pulls a pint, the old fashioned way. The Archive asked: “Do we have a name for the lady?” Owen Rooks came to the rescue with: “It’s Rhoda Skipper, probably dispensing the delectable brews which once emanated from J. Nimmo & Sons, Castle Eden Brewery.” Image courtesy of Pat Bennison, thanks to Owen Rooks for the update.  Possibly the same First Aid competition.

Even in 1973 the Wilton flare stacks caused problems. Andrew Pryce comments: “I remember the flares vividly, we lived in Redcar on the old Lakes Estate and Iwas working in Guisborough at Blackett Hutttons at the time as a machinist. Used to drive past and see the flares.” Keith Willshaw assists with: “It was much more of a problem back then. I started as an apprentice at ICI Wilton in 1968 and was around until Olefines VI had been built in the mid 70’s. That amount of smoke would get you into trouble today as the regulations require that in normal operation no visible smoke should be produced.

A presentation of cheques, but we have no information as to event, location or what the cheques are for? We can identify at the far right Arthur Hawkins (Invoice Manager) and Eddie Yeoman receiving a cheque; far left Ron Mildon. Ron Milner (Security) centre with cheque? The Archive asked: “Can any one help with further information.” Colin Verrill suggested: “My guess, it was something to do with the St John Ambulance Brigade as Albert Atkinson and Eddie Yeoman and maybe Arthur Young were all involved with the Saint Johns Ambulance Brigade.” Colin also advised: “Far left is Ron Mildon; far right is Albert Atkinson. Can’t see Arthur Hawkins on the picture and he was my boss in the Invoice Department in 1973/74.” Bob Doe assisted with: “Far right Arthur Hawkins, Invoice Manager and Ron Milner.” Whilst Brian Young assisted with: “Far left . Ron Milner worked on security. Second left Arthur Young (Union Rep.), third Bob King (Works Manager).” Presentation group: Ron Mildon, Arthur Young (Union Rep.), Bob King, ??, Ron Milner (Security), Eddie Yeoman, ??, Arthur Hawkins (Invoice Manager). If our viewers can assist in ensuring the right names in the right place; please get in contact. Image courtesy of Dave McGill and thanks to Bob Doe, Brian Young, and Colin Verrill for the updates.

I can remember first seeing this strange point in the sea and wondering what it was for? A. N. Andrew comments: “It did look like that 60 years ago the pipe leading to the outlet was three to four feet above the level of the sand. Image courtesy of Ken Loughran, thanks to A. N. Andrew for the update.  Claphow bridges in the 1940s, I would not advise walking along the road in this manner today. It is now known that the two ladies are: ”Two sisters (left to right); Joan and Emily Greensitt whose family owned a guest house on Marine Parade, Saltburn. The image was taken of them taking a leisurely stroll through the Claphow bridges about 1940”  Another presentation of cheques to the St John’s Ambulance Brigade by Skinningrove Works staff. Alex Pell, ??, ??, Jackie Robinson, Jack Robinson (Office manager), Jack Claypole (Works manager), Eddie Yeoman and Albert Atkinson. Can anybody assist with the missing names?
