A view also from about 1890 viewing towards the Methodist Chapel at the bottom of Green Road (Skelton Green bank to those who were familiar with Skelton).

An 1890 view of the High Street, before even the Skelton Institute building was erected in 1900.
The building in the front right of this view was the Co-operative Butchery (possibly the original slaughter house), note it’s proximity to the High Street. To the right and not in view was the original Post Office.

A beautiful tinted postcard of Skelton High Street. Traffic free and so peaceful. The building on the right is the former Skelton Co-operative Store, still standing today. Roger Barwick tells us: ”I believe the gentleman on the right walking past the Coop is my Grandad William Barwick who lived at No 9 High street. He passed away in 1955. My Mam had the same card and she had written that it was Grandad.”

A lovely tinted photo of the cross loaned to us by Joyce Dobson. You don’t see Giusborough like this now.

A lovely photo of Roseberry Topping with a covering of snow.
