A lovely coloured postcard view of the valley gardens (most likely taken from the Half Penny bridge), complete with bandstand; with Rushpool Hall in the background looking rather like a fairy tale castle.

Hummersea, November 2006

This photograph shows the new steps in place; down the cliff from Hummersea Farm to the beach, in November 2006.  The old kiln looks the same as in the earlier photograph.  Are the steps still there, or have they been damaged by the sea?

Hummersea, May 2002

This photograph shows the bottom of the steps down from Hummersea Farm to the beach. The stone-built structure is thought to have been used as a kiln for the burning of cement stone – which was obtained from the uppermost levels of the alum shale.

Georgina and Tom Codling

This picture was taken at the front door of Boulby Barns, about 1927; Georgina (nee Thurlow) has their daughter, Isabel, on her knee.  Their son, Denis seems reluctant to have his photograph taken and has turned away from the camera.

Bozz Halliday advises: “This picture is of my great uncle Tom. He is my grandmothers brother. My grandmother was Greta Codling and my mothers maiden name is Lena Dowson.”
