Commondale School

All the children outside for the photo, a lot of children for such a small village. What date do you think it was taken.

A lovely Tom Watson postcard loaned to us by Tina Dowey.

The Ford

At Hutton-le-Hole, I know it’s a quite a way from East Cleveland but we do have some lovely postcards of the North Yorkshire Moors and this is not as you would see Hutton-le-Hole today.

A well known landmark on the North Yorkshire Moors. Many years ago if you passed this you would put a penny on the top for the travellers or tramps to take as they went past. I think this and other crosses on the moors were errected as markers for the monks as they travelled the moor from abbey to abbey. I know you will tell me if I am wrong

Goathland Station

I know it isn’t an old photograph but the trains are old so it qualifies

Glaisdale

Another postcard this one dated 29th. January 1872, nice when they have the date on.

Eric Johnson tells us: ”an interesting view of the short lived Glaisdale Ironworks. Three blast furnaces with barrow hoist can be seen, moving left the blast engine house with boiler chimney, then the trestle bridge of the mineral railway which ran up Glaisdale Rigg to ironstone quarrys. The smaller chimney was part of the shaft sunk to the main seam. Like the Runswick Bay Ironworks it was in the wrong place to be viable.”

Disaster

I think the caption says it all, my feelings are with the horse.

Beggars Bridge

Yes I know we have photo’s of this bridge but you must admit this one is rather lovely.

Commondale

Commondale Brick and Pipe Works can by seen on the left in this view of the village. The card was posted in 1907 and at that time the brickworks were owned and managed by the Crossleys. A railtrack connected the works to the main line from Battersby, making it easy for the bricks to be exported to London.

The Esk in Flood

Thanks to Tina for this image of the Esk in flood in 1903, produced by W.H.Earl of Commondale. I believe that this view has been taken from above Castleton station.

Duck’s Bridge Danby

It says ”Duck’s Bridge” on this card by T.Watson, Lythe, of the old packhorse bridge near Danby. We know it as Duck Bridge.
