Norman meets some of the nursing staff at Guisborough hospital, were you amongst that staff?
This might be a bit tricky to see – but it’s a panoramic scan photograph, taken at Guisborough Grammar School in June 1940 – you never know, you might spot someone you know!
A good shot of BR Standard 2-6-4T 80118 standing at Guisborough Station with a local train. It could be going either to Middlesbrough, Saltburn or Whitby, because Guisborough was a terminus on the old Cleveland Railway and there is no sense of ”up” and ”down” to tell you the apparent destination. A subject for the Beeching axe, Guisborough nevertheless lasted longer than the steam engine and saw the advent of the Diesel Multiple Unit before its demise.
J W Knaggs, upholsterer,cabinet maker and undertaker and his wife Elizabeth Mary pose outside their shop at 59/61 Westgate, Guisborough.
The ubiquitous Diesel Multiple Unit, workhorse of the post-steam era, in this case a Metropolitan-Cammell se,t waits at Guisborough station (now only a memory, like the DMU). |
