 An older black and white image of the corner of Grinkle Lane at Easington church; in some ways not unchanged, although the sign post has long gone. Also the picket fence gates which marked the end of the drive which lead to the Rectory have also gone. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  This photograph of the Liverton Mines and Loftus Scout Troops was taken at the same party as the other three photographs that are already on site. Bob Goldby the Assistant Scout Master, is sitting with the boys, but we haven’t any of the boys’ names. Sixth from left on back row has been identified as Barry Emerson. Alan Walker advises: ”Possible names: Second from left Graham Nellist, fourth from left David Bateman, seventh from left Michael Bateman.” Can anybody assist with other names? Image courtesy of Joe Ward, thanks to Janet Lingard (nee Thompson) and Alan Walker for the updates.  The relay team: Tony Jackson, Tony Raspison, Alan Lightfoot and Joe Ward, are pictured with the Area Shield that they won. Image and information courtesy of Joe Ward.

Joe Faye went on to teach history at Sacred Heart School, Redcar. He taught me and remembered my dad.” Frank Robson advised: “The Robson on the left front row is me, Frank Robson, the one on the opposite end is I am sure Graham Marlow.” Finally a request; Jack Ferguson asks: “My name is Jack Ferguson (dob 1950). I am working on my family tree and think the Joe Tyreman in long trousers would be my cousin if his mother was called Elizabeth Alice Ferguson who married Joe Tyreman (Snr). My father was John Ferguson (1903-1971) and one of his sisters was called Elizabeth Alice. I visited Loftus once as a small child but cannot remember meeting young Joe. He might have been away doing his national service. Does anyone know if he is still around and has a contact.” Image and information courtesy of Joe Ward, thanks to Pauline Laverick (nee Foster) and Frank Robson for information; also can anybody assist Jack Ferguson?  This I found very useful as if you like me had looked at various aerial photographs of Skinningrove works and wondered which part was which. Well wonder no more this photograph tells all.  Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum provided this plan of the workings of Boulby Ironstone Mine, but as Simon Chapman points out: ”If you read the small print at the bottom you will see that this is a plan of the workings of Boulby Mine. Grinkle Mine was to the south and much more extensive.” Image courtesy of Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum and thanks to Simon Chapman for the correcting update.  The caption says Rosedale Mineral Railway 1860-1926, what more can I say? From a William Hayes postcard, being a compilation of several seperate postcards. J. Chrystal updates with: “Mr, Rose from High Row Loftus worked at Rosedale mine in 1912, he walked to work and back six days a week along the railway line from Loftus. his half day was Saturday, on the way there and back he also did his allotment and kept hens.“ Image courtesy of John G. Hannah and Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum., thanks to J. Chrystal for the update  Eric Johnson advised: “The locomotive is an “P” class North Eastern Railway engine. built at Gateshead. the tender has L.N.E.R. painted on, so photograph is after 1923. Bloworth crossing is near Ingleby Incline (Battersby to Rosedale mineral line).” Bloworth Crossing is a familiar name to all those who have trod the Lyke Wyke Walk or undertaken the Cleveland Way. It mark a crossing point for the original mineral railway by several ancient routes. Image courtesy of Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum, thanks to Eric Johnson for the update. |
