Loftus Co-op, 1950-1960s. Christmas with the staff of the grocery department:- Many thanks to Keith Cook and Michael Matthews for the update on names. Keith has happy memories of the Co-op where he worked before moving away and has now gained contact with Marjorie.  St Michaels chancel arch; a rare survivor from the Norman period. The arch was covered until the restoration brought it to view in the 19th century. Viewed from the nave, the outer arch has beak head carvings; the two inner carvings have zig zag or chevron mouldings. The capitals on each side of the arch depicting scenes from the Bible.

Busy days in the dinner hall, but time for an excellent image by Tempest (School Photographers)!
Assembled in 1980? the ladies are:  The memorial stands in open moorland on Ainthorpe Lane, Castleton; serving as the memorial for both Castleton & Danby. This image possibly dates from the dedication of the memorial in October 1921, by Viscount Downe and Baron Dawnay. Cheryl Himsworth advises: “My great grandfather unveiled this memorial. He was given the honour as he had lost the most sons from the area in the Great War.” Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier and thanks to Cheryl Himsworth for the update.  We have a little puzzle for you all, can you fill in the names of this school photograph and assist with the year? Ray Brown queries: “I think the lady who you say is Mavis Hall could actually be Mrs. Best, she taught my mother at Loftus in the early to mid 30s. – what does others think?” Image courtesy of Brenda Lightfoot, also thanks to Ray Brown, Derick Pearson and Julie Hall for the updates.  Mr Davey’s class are all present and Mr Norminton has joined them for their class photograph. Image and names courtesy of Brenda Lightfoot; many thanks to Cynthia White for the update.  St Michael’s Church in Liverton village. A Victorian restoration, traces of the Norman masonry, can be seen in the nave walls, and the chancel arch; with elaborate sculptures on the capitals. This is one of the finest survival’s in the north. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier.  A photograph from the celebrations of St Josephs school centenary in 2008. The original St Joseph’s opened in Deepdale Road 12th June 1906; moving to the Rosecroft Lane building in 1968. Can you find anyone on the photo you know? Please tell us the names!
