 The official opening of the Whitby to Sandsend road on 7th November 1925, this image is from an original taken by Tom Watson of Lythe. He had been commissioned to record the week by week progress of this activity. Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection.  Loy House as it once was, no sign remains today of its presence, one of several dwellings in the area that were demolished. Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection.
Believed to be a view of Loy House, on Loy Lane; but we are unsure. Can anybody assist in identifying this building?  An early 20th century postcard view of Egton Bridge and the river Esk; how quiet it all seems. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This postcard view was un-posted and we have no knowledge of the publisher; however from the handwritten inscription it is believed to be from the early 20th century. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah
This view of the double bridge at Claphow, on the road connecting New Skelton to Lingdale; shows a time much quieter for traffic. Pity the poor modern-day horse driver if he attempted to drive in the middle of the road!
‘With all Good Wishes for a Happy Xmas’ is the message on the image. The Troupe are named as; Back row: Dorothy Appleby, Kenneth Westhorp, Margery Wallace, Jack Atkinson, Joyce Legg, Frank Wright, Nancy Watson. Jane Hall enquires: “My mother was engaged to Kenneth and we were wondering if his sister Margery was still living. My Mother is 94 and it would be wonderful if we could find out more. Kenneth was killed in the war. Fingers crossed you could help.” Can anybody assist? Image and names courtesy of Helen Cook (nee Fowle), thanks to Jane hall for the enquiry.
Irene Cook, then aged 10 years features in this image, Helen can tell us that her mother is first girl on the left. Can anybody assist with other names? Image and name courtesy of Helen Cook (nee Fowle).
Again we are missing names in this delightful image of the Concert party; Helen can tell us that her mother (Irene Wood) but that is all, can we have help please?
Bearing the inscription ‘With Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas & a Happy & Prosperous New Year’, this image features: Irene Wood, Dorothy Appleby, Nancy Watson. |
