Construction in progress of the Raithwaite culvert and road – Whitby to Sandsend – this to allow access for the Newholm beck to flow into the sea. The present day road from Sandsend to Whitby passes over this now hidden engineering work. David Richardson advised: “The photograph was taken sometime during the early 1920’s when the culvert and road where constructed in Raithwaite valley near Sandsend.” The original image possibly taken by Tom Watson of Lythe; he was commissioned to make a week by week photographic record of the works.

Once the impregnable stronghold of the De Thweng’s, Kilton Castle fell into disrepair and by 1347 had only one occupant – Catherine de Thweng, a widow – and later in the same century, it was described as being totally abandoned. Even less of Kilton castle exists today, despite its Ancient Monument status. Peter Appleton provided information regarding the de Thweng’s: “In 1272, Peter de Brus III died without male heir. His four sisters became co-heiresses of the de Brus estates in north-east Yorkshire. Lucia de Brus married Marmaduke de Thweng and had, as her portion of the estates, the manors of Yarm, Danby and Brotton. The latter included the township of Kilton. Her older sibling, Agnes, received the manors of Skelton, Marske, Upleatham and Kirkleatham, whilst her younger siblings, Margaret and Laderina, received respectively, the barony of Kendal and the manor of Carlton-in-Cleveland.”

Nice photograph, taken this time from Mill Bank; Glover’s Path can be seen as can the buildings to the left centre of the image belonging to Whitecliffe mine. The old railway bridge is very clear, as are the steel works back right. Carlin How mine was known to the miners as Duck Hole owing to the wet working conditions. Simon Chapmann advises: “Duckhole closed in 1944 and in the image the headgear has been demolished. The chimney for North Loftus pit can still be seen so it is believed to be from about 1950.”

Dated about 1930 this image of Amy Thurlow was believed to have been taken at the entrance to Easington Church. Kim Lindley has advised: “Possibly at the entrance to All Saints church, Easington.”

About 1930 at an unknown location (but possibly in the garden of Boulby Barns Farm) with Bessie on the left and the right Amy. Anne Hindmarsh asked: “Would Amy be Bessie Andersons’s sister they were both Thurlows?” Janet Wilson advised: “I think that the lady on the left is Bessie Anderson (nee Thurlow) who was Amy’s mother.”
