Liverton Mines Chapel

The image was donated by Iris Knight (nee George) Her father (Tom George)was lay preacher at the chapel and just for good measure, he must at the time been the tallest man in the village at 6 feet 4 inches tall as Iris recalls. Sheila Alderson tells us: ”I remember the Sunday School at the back, we went through the door on the right hand side. Before I left England my name was written on the outside window ledge across from the ’Hollywell’ (Sheila and Paul); I wonder if its still there….lovely memories of my childhood ….” Mel Stevens (Wobblywotnotz) commented: “I now own the chapel at Liverton Mines and was thrilled to find a picture of how it looked when it was still in use.”

Beggar’s Bridge

I think we all know the story of Beggar’s bridge, when a poor man loved a rich girl and went away to make his fortune to build the bridge. Well here it is in winter with the river so frozen that they could skate on it, image dates from c.1900. Was it frozen in the cold of last winter?

Ironstone Miner’s Celebration July 1988

The parade started from Loftus Leisure Centre. Some of the children, parents and teachers from Harry Dack Infant School are sorting out their banner; Mrs Bowman, Mrs Hitchen, Mrs Pressick and Mrs Byrne are all in the picture. This set of images was taken on Saturday, 16th July, 1988. Jean Wilson tells us:”This is my son Greg (Wilson) holding the banner up but don’t know the occasion.”

I can’t remember much about the occasion. Can anyone help with more information?
