 We can identify some people on this image of the Liverton village fete, including Major Petch in the background, as well as Lynn Jackson (with daughter Lisa) in front of the stall. Jill Gale has advised us: ”Audrey Souter on left (nee Whitwell) Major Petch with hat on in background.” Can anybody assist with a date and additional names? Image courtesy of Janet Wilson and thanks to Jill Gale for the update.  Dennis Codling and his sister Isobel at the doorway of their home at Boulby Barnes. This chair is getting very photogenic; featuring in many images of the Codling family at Boulby Barnes. Image courtesy of Janet Wilson.  The location was Liverton Village hall; date we would love to know! We have most of the names and they are given below. But are we correct we would love to know and can you supply the missing names? Janet Wilson advises: “The little boy sitting with Mary Stevenson is Leslie Dowson. His father was my dad’s cousin and lived at Handale Banks farm until the early 1960s. I remembered visiting them when his sister Lynne was born.” Image and names courtesy of Janet Codling.  Pictured at the rear of 2 Glenfield Terrace, Loftus; the Codling family. Back row: John (son of Ike), Ike, Alan and Alec. Seated are Georgina and Tom Codling; parents and grand parents of those on the standing row. Sheila Cotterill asked: “I am trying to make contact with a dear friend, I used to come to Loftus every year to stay with Sylvia and Alan England who lived in Loftus for many years, me and my family would visit a couple of times each year. I know Sylvia died some time ago, I have tried to telephone Alan on a number of occasions and no reply and the number is now not recognised. I don’t know if anyone looking at this can help? I live in Buxton, Derbyshire. My mother and father knew them well when Sylvia worked in the Arlington in fact we stayed there a couple of times. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.” Carrie Emerson responded: “My name is Carrie and I am Sylvia and Alan England granddaughter,Alan died September 2015,that is why you cannot get in touch sorry to be the bearer of bad news.”
 A play by Loftus Junior School, possibly a detection theme based on the pipe! Left to right: ??, ??, ??, Ivan Gallilee, ??, ??, ??. Can you assist with names and a date? Image courtesy of Janet Wilson.  This J. Salmon postcard, although used dates from a similar period, but is equally well preserved.  This Valentine’s postcard view of the lower Spa bank, Bank café and with Huntcliffe beyond dates from the 1940s or 1950s. As it is unused it is still in remarkable condition.
Post marked 1905, this Frith’s postcard view of Skelton church. The church was consecrated in 1884, this image possibly dates from shortly after that date.  This multi-view postcard from the ‘Jay Em Jay Series’ is from the early part of the 20th century. The promenading ladies in the earlier view must have had to hold on to their hats on windy days? Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  This Frith’s postcard view is of Saltburn Parish church over open fields of the area now occupied by Hilda Place. It bears the message: “For the best Furnished Houses and Apartments, apply to W. Rapp & Sons Ltd., House & Estate Agents, Saltburn-by-the-sea.” Dating the card is more problematical, only the western side of Hilda Place had been built by 1920, so the image is probably from the late 19th century. Christine Pollard assists with: “The foundation stone for the tower was laid on 7th August 1900 and the tower dedicated on the 5th April 1902. The chancel was rebuilt after the Great War in 1914-18 and the upper east windows were dedicated to the fallen men on the 10th December 1922, so this photograph was somewhere after 1902.” |
