Halfpenny Bridge

This view of the Halfpenny Bridge; again in February 1972, looking downstream.  The roof of the toll cottage can just be seen at the far end of the bridge. Alan Golden comments: “Lovely photos Owen of Saltburn. Do you have any photos of the Manor School on the north side of the bridge in the late 1960’s?”

The Ford

The ford at Hutton-le-Hole; I know it’s a quite a way from East Cleveland but we do have some lovely postcards of the North Yorkshire Moors and this is not as you would see Hutton-le-Hole today. Taken about 1900 and believed to be a Tom Watson postcard.

Ralphs Cross

Ralphs Cross

A well-known landmark on the North Yorkshire Moors. Many years ago if you passed this you would put a penny on the top for the travellers or tramps to take as they went past. This and other crosses on the moors were erected as markers for the monks as they travelled the moor from abbey to abbey.

Mulgrave Castle

A lovely postcard by Tom Watson Lythe, of the castle at Mulgrave. This non-tinted view of the castle is believed to date from a similar period as the other view of the castle on the Archive.

Lot 22

Easington End Farm (comprising: 6 acres, 0 roods and 4 poles) with a double fronted house all let for £45 on a Lady Day (25th March) tenancy. David advises: “That looks like the building which is now the Tiger Inn.”

Where Is It?

Well here I am once again asking for help, do you know this terrace of houses and where they are? Could it be East Crescent? David Richardson tells us: ”These are the houses at the end of East Crescent, the structure on the hillside behind them is a Nursery.”

Loftus Tinted

Entitled ”Higher Zetland Road., Loftus” this hand tinted postcard dates from pre 1903. I love the horse and looking closely at the pavement near the horse it looks to be raised quite high? And in the back ground, almost in the middle of the road is ”White Hat Richardson”!
