 Our Aero Films postcard view of Cleveland Grammar School is from the 1960’s. Cecily Cochrane enquires: “Wondering if anyone has more photos of Cleveland Grammar school?” Image courtesy of a friend of East Cleveland Image Archive, can anybody assist with Cecily Cochrane’s enquiry?  Our postcard view shows a multitude of herring boats moored in Whitby harbour, perhaps it was Sunday; but for whatever reason there are a lot of boats and apparent onlookers. Image courtesy of a friend of the ECIA.  Like the dog! But heather and Runswick Bay do not seem logical together. Obviously the producer of this postcard felt it improved sales, as we have seen many similar dog-centred cards advising “Best of Luck from ……” Image courtesy of a friend of the ECIA.  Our Valentine’s postcard view of a tidally full harbour and the houses sheltering under the cliffs. The cliff top dominated as it is today by the Abbey and the church of St Mary. Image courtesy of a friend of the ECIA.  This postcard view of the footbridge in Sandsend, which can still be viewed today – although slightly improved – dates from c. 1900. Perhaps the lady is returning with her laundry from the washing line? Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  This T. C. Booth postcard, although on the image side is a calendar (for 1913), the reverse bears the message “Wishing you a very happy new year – from Dorothy”, Unfortunately there is no indication of recipient or Dorothy’s surname. Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  Our collection of clearly posed images of fisher folk of Staithes show possibly a stylised Victorian view of these hard-working members of the community. Our interest is aroused by the ribbon or strip of lace? round the young ladies bonnet. Perhaps in mourning, can anybody advise? Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  Clearly posed this image of Staithes fishermen, perhaps taken on as part of a Victorian study of working fisher folk. But how posed? Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  Although clearly Staithes based, with Cowbar Nab in the background we have no date or publisher for this unused postcard image. The small cross is apparently a message for the un-named recipient of the card, apparently known to both parties! Image courtesy of Olive Bennett.  This is one of the quartet of fishing entitled linked postcards; but the only one bearing any identification – Fisher Life Studies. Valentines Series – it is possibly Staithes based; identification is aided by the backgrounds. Again no indication of date. Image courtesy of Olive Bennett. |
