This double image is a postcard and reverse of Ryan’s shop once a feature of the Market Place, Loftus. Brought to the Archive by Robert Graham’s granddaughter, the card included details of Robert , but unfortunately no others are mentioned. Can you help?
Ryan’s shop situated in the Market Place, managed it is believed by Mr Robert Graham who features in the image. Robert Graham lived in ”Tin City” at Boulby and arranged a petition (Robert’s letter presented the petition to The Minister of Health (in London) to prevent the demolition of the village by Loftus Urban District Council in 1935. This image could well date from this time.

We have however only some names and would appreciate assistance in filling the names, as well as any further information.
Image kindly supplied by the Graham family.
This family portrait of the Codling family was taken in about 1907?

An outing from the chapel, George Tremain tells us: ”After some research I now believe I can identify some of the members of this group. On the back group standing 3rd in is Charles Hall, 5th fron left with moustache is Joseph Easton and with her arnm linked to his I believe is Emily Jemson his step grandaughter. Second from the right standing is Priscilla Easton who had formerly been Priscilla Jemson ubntil her husband William Jemson was killed in a mining accident. Second row from the front 3rd from the right as you look kneeling is Mary Jemson kneeling. There are also other members of the Hall/Jemson family on the photograph as all seemed to have strong links with the church. Fred Nicholson, crouching at front on far left. He married Clara Hall. Worked as deputy in ironstone mines but then started his own business with Mr Petty.(Nicholson and Petty). The photograph must be somewhere around 1910-20.”
