 Mrs. Hitchen and Mrs. Horness helped the children with Harry Dack School’s banner along West Road; followed by Warsett School. The parade went along West Road, up Westfield Terrace and Westfield Way to the football field. I believe there were stalls and activities up there but can’t remember any details. Can you tell us more? Image courtesy of Joan Yeoman.

One of the pit horses at the Boulby ironstone mine; believed to be by the Travelling Drift. Mr Ray Conn advised the Archive that he believed that one of the men to be seen working behind the horse was known as “Pidge.” Image and information courtesy of Mr. Ray Conn.  Raymond Brown tells us: ”This one is of Skinningrove Valley circa 1963. The old track bed of the line to Loftus/Whitby can be clearly seen with the track lifted from the BR closure (well before it was re-laid for CPL) and in the distance the pair of old Gas holders at Skinningrove. Note the lack of trees that now obscure this view.” The consensus of opinion is that this is the first junction of the zig-zag, with the ’tail’ of the first section coming off the photo at the bottom (originally to run under the viaduct, but after the viaduct was in-filled, stopping short just before the new embankment). Image courtesy of Raymond Brown and thanks go to Colin Hart and Russ Pigott for the updates.  Back row: David Willis, Geoff Todd, Dennis Bowers, Keith Morrison, Eric Trembath, Ian Pearson, Eric Jackson, David Morris, Ian Goodwill, Ian Legg, Richard Shippey, Graham George. Middle row: Geoff Collinson, Brian Parker, Nev Rogerson, Geoff Robinson, William Boal, Dave Craggs, Kenneth Wilkinson, Richard Oglesby, John Chipchase, Ray Brown, Alan Walker, Keith Steyert, John Dale, David Archer.

On the floor: Thomas Bradley, Barrie Yardy. Image and names courtesy of Raymond Brown, Kenneth Wilkinson, Eric Willis and Eric Trembath.
Loftus County Modern School Band believed to be on Coronation Road, Loftus; about 1962. Raymond Brown says: ”I can still name a few of the Gents/Lads on the picture but some names I’m afraid have gone after so many years. Image and notation courtesy of Raymond Brown.  Sandra tells us that Brian took this photograph of the train crossing the bridge below Carlin How; and the next photograph, from their bedroom window on St. Hilda’s Terrace. The train is ’The Boulby Flyer’ on the first excursion of four organised by Saltburn Line Users Group on Sunday August 13th 1995; the locomotive was a Class 47773 ’Reservist’. Callum Duff assisted with: “Victorian Week at Saltburn finished in 1994. If this is 1995 then it is a special excursion organised independently. Two trips were organised to Boulby as part of Saltburn’s celebrations. The first, in 1986 only went as far as Carlin How (although they didn’t tell us that until we got to Crag Hall, thanks Langbaurgh Borough Council)! The second in 1991 did travel the whole length and was on a beautiful day.” Whilst Russ Piggot advised: “If I remember correctly the Victorian week specials were class 143 units and not loco hauled like this train.” Image and detail courtesy of Sandra Hutchinson, additional information courtesy of ’Saltburn-By-The-Sea Revisited’; thanks to Callum Duff and Russ Piggot for the updates.  The train going over the viaduct towards Loftus, with Kilton shale tip in the background. The excursion was on the Boulby mineral line from Saltburn to Boulby Potash Mine and back.
