 An image of what is believed to be members of Loftus Youth Club possibly for a fancy dress event or a play. Can anybody assist with names, dates and the event? Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club.  An image of members of the Club during their three week visit to Austria. The statue is The Burghers of Calais a famous sculpture by Rodin. Assistance is wanted with names and dates, were you there? Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club.  Another image from the play Loftus Youth Club presented as part of the Cleveland Youth Drama Festival dating from the 1950s. We asked for assistance with names and placing. Margaret Roberts told the Archive: “Left to right, they are: Barbara Whitlock, Betty Thornton, Lorna Chipchase, Margaret Drew, Margaret Peel, Eileen May, Margaret Wood (ME!).” Elizabeth Watson confirmed with : “Lorna Chipchase is third from left.” We can name the people in this image and the roles they played, they are pictured above (left to right): Barabara Whitlock (Jeanne de Wissant), Betty Thornton (Susanne d’Aire), Lorna Chipchase (Servant Girl), Margaret Drew (Marguerite de St. Pierre), Margaret Peel (Anne de Rosty), Eileen May (Katherine D’Oudel-bolle) and Margaret Wood (Claire de Wissant). Many thanks for the wonderful response. Now we know who and where on the picture. Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club and thanks to Elizabeth Watson and Margaret Roberts for the updates.
Obviously the cast from a Youth Club play, but can you assist in names and a date?

Boulby cliff is prominent in the background; the last train from Scarborough ran in May 1958. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson and Keith Bowers.  The Archive asked: ‘Who was this local beauty queen? Obviously a member of Loftus Youth Club?’ Derek Miller tells us: ”I believe it`s Susan Walker before she became Mrs Tilburn. Spoke to her not long ago after many years….she hasn`t changed a bit ! Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club and thanks to Derek Miller for the update.  A custom dating back to the reign of King Henry II; the legend says a group of noblemen were hunting wild boar in Eskdale, and slew a hermit who tried to protect the animal. The Bishop of Whitby Abbey as a penance ordered them to construct on Ascension Eve each year a hedge of wood with a penny knife to withstand three tides. Completion of the hedge was announced by blowing a horn as seen in the postcard image. Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson & Keith Bowers.
