 J. W. Knaggs (Upholsterer, cabinet maker and undertaker) with his wife Elizabeth Mary; pose outside their shop at 59/61 Westgate, Guisborough. He was Parish Clerk to Guisborough Parish Council for 13 years until his death in 1885. His wife and family carried on the business until its closure in the 1960’s.

A long while later and the platform has gone, the car park has arrived and a special makes its way from Redcar towards Black Bridge. It must be a preserved locomotive on a charter run! Image courtesy of Mike Holliday.  How many of you remember the excursion platform at Redcar? Well, there’s a car park there now; but in its heyday it was heaving. Redcar had a beach then; there was no deep water channel in the Tees, no Blast Furnace on the skyline and Redcar had two picture houses and a theatre! It must have been a busy day as I can count three engines in steam here as well! Image courtesy of Mike Holliday.  I couldn’t resist posting this image! David tells me that it’s Castleton Station, but when was a Class 55 ”Deltic” on the Whitby line, I know that there used to be one at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway? Russ Piggot says ”Without sounding too trainspotterish, it was 55002 on a special to Whitby in summer 1981. I remember seeing it go through Great Ayton”. Craig Oliphant tells us: ”55002 did two Merrymakers from Newcastle to Whitby on 02/08/1981 via Durham, Ferryhill, Stockton, and the second one on the 30/08/1981 via Sunderland, both I believe had what are now termed Mini Tours from Whitby to Middlesbrough and return during the day.” Thanks David Richardson, Russ Piggot and Craig Oliphant for the updates.

Here’s a few railway pictures to keep the trainspotters happy an EWS (English Welsh & Scottish – railway freight company) Class 56 no. 56032 standing at Boulby.  I think this is the same train looking towards the dispersal sidings at the filling bay.  Class 56 no. 56055 outbound from Boulby with a train of Potash Hoppers. As Russ says, it’s in the LoadHaul livery! Didn’t know they were all American owned now though – is nothing British anymore!  EWS Class 56 no. 56032 looking rather clean in this classic shot at Boulby Potash Mine. |
