Lilian Ingledew and Tom Jackson are pictured whilst visiting St Gregory’s Minster at Kirkdale. Kirkdale’s most famous monument is the ANGLO-SAXON SUNDIAL situated just above the main doorway under cover of the 18th century porch; still much visited today the church is a peaceful haven, well worth visiting .

Still a familiar view of North Terrace, Skelton; this postcard view dates from the turn of the 2oth century. The Royal George whose host was A. (Albert) Bunn as recorded in the 1901 and 1911 Census; it is presumed that the Royal George lost the front railings in the First World War.Even today the building still exists, more as a ‘pub with good grub’; than a ‘commercial hotel’. Peter Appleton has assisted with further information regarding Albert Bunn: “Alfred Bunn was born at Abington, Cambridgeshire in 1850. He married Hannah Ord at Middlesbrough Register Office in 1878. He was a Coachman in Domestic service, living at 15 Stanhope Street, Saltburn in 1891. This is just round the corner from the Queen Hotel. Was he the hotel’s coachman, I wonder? By 1897 he was landlord of the Royal George and was elected a member of “Skelton Felons” (or Skelton Association for the Prosecution of Felons to give it its full title) in that year. In 1910 he was elected to the management committee of “the Felons” and is last mentioned in the Minute Book of the Association in 1915. He died in March 1917.” Image courtesy of Peter Appleton and many thanks to Peter for the update.
Meadowfields is actually part of East Row, being that part of Sandsend first encountered as the approach is made from Whitby; it is the houses leading off at a right angle from the road. It is only after crossing over East Row beck that Sandsend is properly entered; the view from a Judges postcard is minus the East Row viaduct which was demolished in 1960, following closure of the line in 1958.

The Flask Inn, 7 miles from Whitby on the road to Scarborough is a former 18th century coaching inn . Now much altered with development and lying away from the realigned road. The opened topped sports car stands at the lone petrol pump, can any one identify the make of the car? Image courtesy of Iris Place.
A further Judges postcard view of Egton Bridge, St Hedda’s RC church and the bank (entitled Egton Cliff on maps!) which descends from Egton, at the top of the hill. The view, dating from the 1950s; was probably taken from the road which having crossed the River Esk splits and then leads to Goathland or over the moor to Rosedale. Image courtesy of Iris Place.
A Judges postcard view of Lealholm, dating from the 1950s. Sited at a crossing point on the River Esk, Lealholm has an long history and is recorded in the Domesday Book. It was recently described by the Sunday Times “as the prettiest village in Yorkshire”; a title it well deserves, being a popular destination for many visitors to Eskdale.

Dating from the 1950s this Judges postcard shows Aislaby church, it stands at the western end of the village; dedicated to St Margaret built in 1897 as a replacement a chapel (dating from 1732) which still stands further to the east. Image courtesy of Iris Place.
From the days when every village had a school, this school photograph of Margrove Park in 1928 dates from that era. And we have: Back row from left to right): Mr Mackenzie, Lewis Snowdon, Miss Parkinson, Mrs Wilson, Mrs Myers, Miss Sprintall, Dick Moorhouse, Phillip Sanderson. Middle row: Les Wood, Tommy Handley, Peggy Franks, Pat Sanderson, Winnie Day, Hazel Thompson, David Teasdale, ??, Tommy Simpson, John Nicholson, Jack Baker, Joe Proud, Charlie Wrightson. Front row: Jack Balls, Jack Teasdale, Arthur Balls, Frank Davison, Albert Franks, Leonard Albert, Claire Sanderson, Lillie Bennison, Frances Sayer, Lil Cottell. As Derick Pearson tells us: “Lewis Snowdon later became Head at Skinningrove Secondary Modern School and later became Deputy Head at Loftus County Modern when it opened in 1963.” Image courtesy of Iris Place and many thanks to Derick for the update.  This postcard view of West Terrace is radically different today; ‘The Royal Standard’ which briefly was renamed as ‘The Standard’ is now long gone; whilst the road is for buses only. The clock tower dedicated to Edward VII still stands at the end of the High Street, it is a Grade II listed building and a valued part of Redcar heritage. Image courtesy of Iris Place. |
