The name tells us what they were; the houses where the Overmen in the mine, (just behind the row of houses) lived. An Overman was literally a person who was in charge of a group of men (like a foreman). The local name for these houses was ‘hoss muck terrace’. This was because all the manure brought out of the mine was piled across the road from these houses, the aroma on a warm summer day drifted for quite a way! Joan Webster tells us: ”My uncle Bill (Bill Peirson) was a electrician at the mine and he lived in the end cottage of Overman’s cottages.” This images dates from the period before the southern end two cottages were removed to make way for the wooden flyover which carried ore from the mine to the works at Carlin How, the terrace was originally called Bowbridge Terrace.

Following original posting of this image a query arose from Mike Hopper regarding: “Norminton’s sweet shop down Station Road”. Barbara McBurney told us: “Mr Harold Norminton was Headmaster at Loftus County Modern School, but there was a sweet shop down Station Road called Norminton’s years ago, I think it is possible that Mr Norminton’s wife used to run it, I think the shop was also owned at one time by a lady called Muriel Cox.” Image courtesy of Loftus Library, also thanks to Mike Hopper and Barbara McBurney for updates.  Carolyn Richards’ father Harry Grange, was 9 or 10 years old when this photograph of Group 3, Hinderwell Council School, was taken. He is standing on the back row, sixth from the left. On the third row, third from left is Winnie Grange (sister of Harry and Alan Grange). Alan Grange is the little boy with the white tie, fifth from the left, on the second row. John Cole advises: ”My gran (Mary Cole) is the girl middle of the picture dressed in black, left of the tall girl”. Annie Lowes tells us: ”Annie Lowes (the Station Master’s daughter) is the girl with ribbon in her hair, three girls from left of girl dressed in black. Her brother Robbie Lowes is also in the picture”. Image courtesy of Carolyn Richards and updates on names. Also thanks to John Cole and Annie Lowes for the updates.  The left hand section of a panorama photograph Guisborough Grammar School taken in April, 1956.
