 Do you remember Mr Grier the photographer on Arlington Street? Well by signing this he has kindly given us the date and even the time this photograph. John Grier Thompson tells us: ”I remember Mr Grier; he was my grandad! My mum ran the Arlington Studio with him where they specialised in weddings. I have many examples of his work at home, and have also inherited the enthusiasm for photography.” Image courtesy of Wendy Stokoe and many thanks to John Grier Thompson for that update.  Yes Stokoe’s garage as it used to be many years ago.  Skinningrove Works Open Day 1974. Exhibition of photographs and documents of the works processes, Can you please help with names of the viewers.
