A view, produced by J.W. Neal of 79 High Street Skelton; also from about 1890 viewing towards the Methodist Chapel at the bottom of Green Road (Skelton Green bank to those who were familiar with Skelton). Judy Last advises: “My maternal great grandparents; William and Mary Armstrong, lived at 71 High Street with two of their daughters, Louisa and Emma Jane. They were there from at least 1871 when they moved from 2 Woods Yard, East Terrace. William an ex Royal Artillery soldier, and now Ironstone Miner, was Verger of All Saints Church. Two of William and Mary’s daughters, Harriet and Emma Jane, became school teachers. Emma Jane teaching at Stanghow Lane School.”

An 1890 view of the High Street, before even the Skelton Institute building was erected in 1900. The building in the front right of this view was the Co-operative Butchery (possibly the original slaughter house), note it’s proximity to the High Street. To the right and not in view was the original Post Office.

A Salmon Series tinted postcard view of Arlington Street; with the Chapel and bystanders standing in the road. The congregation of the Arlington Primitive Methodist chapel were joined by members of the congregation of the Newton memorial chapel after it was destroyed. It was jokingly said ”It took Hitler to unite the Chapels”.

An excellent tinted postcard view of the lift at Saltburn. Interesting this can be dated to before 1925; Callum Duff has assisted with: “These rectangular buildings replaced the original octagonal structures around 1895. The pier was breached by SS Ovenbeg in 192;4 so the photograph was taken between these two dates. In 1925, a theatre was built between the two buildings so that the pier could continue as an attraction whilst being repaired.”

A beautiful tinted postcard of Skelton High Street. Traffic free and so peaceful. The building on the right is the former Skelton Co-operative Store, still standing today. Roger Barwick tells us: ”I believe the gentleman on the right walking past the Coop is my Grandad William Barwick who lived at No 9 High street. He passed away in 1955. My Mam had the same card and she had written that it was Grandad.”

This double image is a postcard and reverse of Ryan’s shop once a feature of the Market Place, Loftus. Brought to the Archive by Robert Graham’s granddaughter, the card included details of Robert, but unfortunately no others are mentioned. Can you help?
Ryan’s shop situated in the Market Place, managed it is believed by Mr Robert Graham who features in the image. Robert Graham lived in ”Tin City” at Boulby and arranged a petition (Robert’s letter presented the petition to The Minister of Health in London) to prevent the demolition of the village by Loftus Urban District Council in 1935. This image could well date from this time.

We have however only some names and would appreciate assistance in filling the names, as well as any further information.
Michael Andrew tells: ”My father Edwin Andrew told me that he worked in what he called Paddy Ryan’s as a boy. He was born in 1924, so it must have been around the late 30′s. Unfortunately he passed away almost two years ago, so I can’t obtain any more information.”
