Nursing Staff Skinningrove Hospital

Nursing Staff Skinningrove Hospital

Can anybody help in the identification of these members of the nursing staff, with Dr Donaldson  (and presumably a porter) of the Skinningrove Hospital demolished in 1940s?

Derick Pearson believes gentleman on the left may be Doctor Donaldson.

Skinningrove Works Pensioners on a sight-seeing tour of the new Sentinel loco’s, we don’t know whether they are retired loco men though. Derick Pearson seems to remember the colour scheme was a rather dark, possibly racing green.

Thanks to Derick Pearson for the update and names.

Father and Son?

Father and Son?

This image which I’ve assumed to be of a father and son, is either a lucky accident by the photographer or a photograph that shows considerable skill.

The father, on a dominant point in the picture, draws the eye – which is then directed to the child by the father’s gaze. A very poignant picture of a fisherman and his son – but Paul Clarke advises us: ”The man in the photo is my late father Eddie Clarke, and the boy is Keith Simpson. The boat was owned by my father and later went on to get the boat ‘Boy Paul’ built at Sandsend. This photo appeared in and was taken by a photographer from The Northern Echo in about 1961-1963”.

Thanks to Stephen Steyert and Paul Clarke for the missing information.)
