Loftus County Modern School Band, do you recognise anyone? I can see the photo was taken near the Working Men’s Club at Carlin How, taken in 1963-64 and believed to be linked to the 50th jubilee of the club or a Carlin How Gala? (photo courtesy of Eric Johnson)
We know it is Skinninggrove Band walking by Angling Green, can you tell us what the occasion was and what date would you put on the photo? Ray Brown tells us:”I cannot help with the date or reason for the parade, but I can help with a few Names, Leading the Band Is Arthur Stone (looking at him I would say the picture may have been taken in the mid 50 to early 60s) front row far right is Henry Rawlins, front row far left I think is Jimmy Bushby, third row far right is Colin Limon & the Back row far lift is Malcolm Voden all the names provided helped both Loftus county modern Brass band and later, when formed the Loftus Town Band.”

Temperance Societies sprang up in every industrial town, village and city during the Industrial Revolution as philanthropists and the Church tried to turn the working man away from the demon drink. The Band was one way of rewarding them for abstention. Sheelagh Dobson tells us:”The man at the far left is my grandad Paul Marshall who was born in Brotton.
This was the year that Albert Einstein published all of his famous works on relativity and also the year that the title of Prime Minister was created (not a lot of people know that!) – the band appear to be practicing, as there are not many onlookers. Derick Pearson has put these photos of parades in Carlin How Square in order for us and this is what he says about the one above. ”c1905… notice the White Pit Chimney in between the houses down the road on the way out of the square to Loftus. Note also on the FRONT fence of Front street (not the dividing ones) Just behind the band to the left, that they are narrow ZIG ZAG railings. Not straight wide ones. This will become relevant on the other photos.” Thanks to Derick Pearson for the update and the image, which is a Richlou postcard. – John.
Boy Scouts, a lot of people in fancy dress and the band pose for a picture in Carlin How. When was it and what was the occasion? c1919. Taken from the upstairs in the Maynard arms. Note the upstairs’ windows on the shops to the seventh window again. This time all the shops below to the right are all joined up and belong to the SKINNINGROVE AMICABLE INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY OF CARLIN HOW. Porritt’s shop was owned by the same company too. Note also the railings on the Front fence of front street….They are now wide railed, straight up and down fencing. No ZIG ZAG rails in sight. This is odd as they were now back like they were when first built. Note also that the third shop from the left is still T WEBSTER’s. Note also the White mine Chimney has now gone. Note pavements were fully flagged too. Thanks to Derick Pearson for the dating of this photo and the new photo. |
