Ever wondered what your grandparents did on an evening (apart from make clippie mats)? Well, they danced to live entertainment. This is the old (wooden) Church Hall in Brotton which Neil Abram tells us: ”the old parish hall was NOT in the church grounds but the other side of the “black ash” footpath…. about where St Margarets Way is now”. Alan Franks tells us: ”My mam and dad are on this photograph, dad is right at the back off centre right, and mam sat at the front next to the man off centre right again. I don’t think they were married then, they married in 1935 I think.”

Loftus Cricket Club 1st XI pictured at Marton in 1939, having won the Cleveland Challenge Cup (solid silver); it is still played for today. Ian Proctor tells us: ”The large trophy is the Cleveland Cup which was first played for in 1885 and was played as a two innings match and was won by Norton. The other trophy is the Kerridge Cup and was first played for in 1911 and was won by Liverton Mines. Both cups are still played for today.”

The Life Saving Company were responsible for rescues from the shore, firing a line to a vessel in distress. Other ropes and pulleys were then hauled out to the vessel and the crew brought ashore one by one. They would be the forerunners of the Coastguard Auxiliary Service. Mr. Conn’s grandfather, Jack Bennison, is standing beside the two men higher up at the back.

The members of Staithes rescue company grouped down by the beck or harbour in Staithes. L.S.A.’s were formed in several parts of the country and they would be the forerunners of the Coastguard Auxiliary Service. We have not many names for the members, but Ray Con could tell us Jack Bennison is 3rd from the left on the back row. Can anybody assist with any other names?
