Another picture of the viaduct adjacent to the station at Sandsend, viewed from the hill above the village on the Whitby side. In the present day the former railway line is an excellent footpath and part of the Cleveland Way.

 A lovely photograph of Saltburn taken from Cat Nab, from a Valentine’s postcard. As the postcard has not been used a possible date is still to be attributed. Image courtesy of the Julie Tyrka and Joan Jemson.  That is what the caption on this image says; I don’t think it looks much like this today. Russell Pigott tells us: ”I would say about the turn of the 20th century,there is fresh ballast on a siding which looks like it went into the ironworks that seem to be demolished and also the style of railway wagons in the picture.” Richard Coates comments: “I’m sure that I know the place the picture was taken. The rail lines that pass the chimney run to Whitby, if you look through the gap between the second and third bush you can just make out the line that runs to Pickering now owned by the NYMR. The view has changed slightly but not much.” Image courtesy of Cleveland ironstone mining museum, thanks to Russell Pigott and Richard Coates for the updates.  A different view of Hummersea Farm we see today, now much changed with a larger range of dwelling houses. In the distance beyond Snilah ponds is The Warren. Holly Enticknap tells us: ”We lived in the barn on the right hand side, we converted it into our house, it took eight years to complete!” Image courtesy of Louise Withnell and thanks to Holly Enticknap for the update.  John Thurlow feeding the chickens in the yard at Boulby Barns. Image courtesy of Mrs. J. Wilson.  John Thurlow is sitting on the barrow while one of the younger men is forking the hay off the cart to build the stack. Ann Codling queried: “Does anyone know who the young men are? John had three sons – Henry, Christopher and Edwin (although Edwin died in 1881). Image courtesy of Mrs. J. Wilson and thanks to Ann Codling for the update.  Mrs. M. Conn, Ray’s mother, is in this photograph (Copyright – John Tindale, Whitby); taken at a church bazaar at Hinderwell. Rev. Perriman, Rev. Ward, Mr. Blaylock, Mr. Codling and Mr. Tom Harland are in the group. Sheila Roots advises: ”This photograph was taken in the Interegnum and the Rev. Ward came from Scarborough most weekends. The lady in front is Mrs. Perriman – wife of the Rev. Perriman from Whitby (not Berriman) The other gentleman is Thomas Harland and not Thomas Husband. Mr. Blaylock was a Church Warden – the other Churchwarden – William Harrison (my father is missing from the photograph).” Barry Easton confirms with “Mr Codling is my late grandad.” Image courtesy of Mr.R.Conn and thanks to Sheila Roots and Barry Easton for the updates.

Georgina Codling (Thurlow) is on the left of the back row. Could Isabel be the little girl in the middle? I wonder what the occasion was, perhaps a birthday?. The young woman on the left, at the front, is holding a small parcel. Image and detail courtesy of Mrs. J. Wilson.
