Saltburn from the Pier

This delightful view taken from the rising seaward end of the pier; gives a real impression of the length. A postcard from the “Rapps’ Saltburn Arts Series” dates from the early 20th century; from the style of dress not the warmest of days?

Glaisdale Post Office

An early postcard view; obviously hand tinted! Dating from about 1905 of the Post Office at Glaisdale. In modern day Glaisdale, the house with the mock Tudor ridge ends still looks over the green at the side of Glaisdale High Street. But I would not recommend pushing the pram along the road in the same way.

Two Gentlemen

A walk through the woods for these two gents, they are Ike Page and Malcolm Mays. Ike Page might stir memories in some of the older viewers as he and Albert Alan were a well known Duo who played for dances.

All Dressed Up

Looks as though these ladies have been to church or maybe chapel, do you know the name of the lady in White? We know the other two are Mrs Mays and Mrs Robinson. Yes this is the Newton Memorial Chapel portico in the background.

Can You Name These People?

The two at the back are Mrs Gibbon and Mrs Mays, but we don’t know the names of the others in the photograph, do you?
