But not by this train – a local commuter makes its way across the skyline towards Loftus as the biggest shale heap in the area takes shape!

This is an image I haven’t seen before. Kilton Viaduct in its ”embanked” state. It completely alters the aspect of the valley – not for the better either unfortunately.
A peaceful! photo of the water as it flows under the viaduct and on to the sea at Skinningrove. We are now aware that the beck at Skinningrove is not affected by any possible outflow from Scaling Dam, as this emerges at Staithes; the overflow from Lockwood Beck flows via Kilton Beck. Thanks to Tony and Kathleen Hicks for that information. We apologise for the image, but we believe it is a copy of a George Skilbeck postcard and is possibly been taken in the 1940s. Thanks to Derick Pearson for the updates. John
Here you are Norman as promised the photo from Derick and a lovely photo it is. Thanks to Derick Pearson for the photo and this is what he says about it. This photo has the same 3 persons on it as the one already on the website, it was taken the same day about an hour later. These same 3 people are stood on the bridge at the high side of the culvert. |
