 This Sandsend postcard view was taken after the tower was rebuilt on Lythe church 1911. The buildings to be seen include the chimney of the old alum works which are still intact. Sadly now gone and a loss to industrial archeology. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.
High Street, Lingdale; the village which owes its existence to the boom in iron stone mining. The well proportioned shop premises were in sharp contrast to the miners houses in the rest of the village. The image is from a Brittain and Wright postcard dating from the early 20th century. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  Saltburn beach looking towards Marske, a large number of portable bathing tents are much in evidence. The beach from Saltburn to Marske was very popular in this 1920s for motor racing competitions along this stretch of sands. They continued to attract large crowds into the 1930s. Postcard courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  The original entrance to the priory at Guisborough. Founded in about 1120 by Robert De Brus for Augustinian Canons. The original priory burned down in 1289 and this gatehouse was the only survivor of the fire. Postcard courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  The sea wall and in the background is Sandsend Ness. The building in this postcard is part of the old alum works it was cleared away to provide a car park. A Judges postcard courtesy Maurice Grayson.  On the sands at Saltburn in the years before the Great War. A large audience are watching a performance by Pierrots. At this time the usual performers were Grapho and Jacksons ”Mascots” or the ”Jovial Jollies” Steve Fawkes comments: “I have a postcard/photograph of the Grapho and Jackson Mascots – undated but around this time.” Postcard courtesy Maurice Grayson, thanks to Steve Fawkes for the update.  The title tells all! This photograph came to us with the title on the reverse. We would welcome names and possibly reasons for the gathering. Alex Wilson advises us: ”The face peering out from the back row, with his hands resting on the shoulders of two ladies, looks like my father Denis Codling. He would have been 20 in 1946.” Gary Yarker adds: “No idea if the dates are right but there are three ladies to the right and the two guys in the background look like my uncle Bryan Yarker and my dad Eric Yarker.” Image courtesy of Loftus Youth Club and many thanks to J. Wilson and Gary Yarker for the updates.  This J. Salmon postcard view of the High Street and Arlington Street, Loftus; is unused and so possibly dates form the early part of the 20th century. We would welcome defining detail. Image courtesy of Jean Hall.  A postcard image of Hummersea beach with the remains of the alum house and chimney still dominating the beach. The postcard is postmarked 30th August 1906 and the beach looks to be well used by visitors, enjoying the sunny day. Image courtesy of Jean Hall. |
