This has to be either bizarre or this group are the owners and their families! Who would visit an iron ore mine in walking out clothes! All the same a very good image of the travelling drift at Upleatham – can’t think why the tub would be on its side though!
Paul Anderson tells us: ”The people to the far right are my gt, gt, gt grand parients John (Jack) and Jane Pinchin of 86 Dale Street, New Marske. The photo is circa 1915-1920. They came up from Manningford, Wilshire in 1881 looking for work and had 12 children.”
Thanks to Paul for that detail.
