Frederick W. Bothroyd – Watchmaker and Jeweller - 5 Zetland Road, Loftus is listed in the 1901 Census, but not in 1891. We believe this is the Richard Bothroyd in the image, standing proudly in the entrance to his shop! The image possibly dates from the mid 1890’s. This is based upon records which indicate he married in 1892 and by 1901 had three children, the eldest being Richard 6 years of age. The site is now occupied by a cafe and amusement arcade. Interesting that the next door way to the right of the image leads to ”refreshment rooms”.

A lovely view of Loftus Market Place,taken by Rita Unthank in the mid 1980’s. We are advised by Steven Steyert: ”I would say the photo is not as early as the 60′s and is more mid 80′s , The white mk3 escort van parked was only built from 1980 – 1986”. How peaceful it looks.

Foulsyke from the air, obviously a lovely sunny day!

Another picture of the Angel – obviously early 1900’s judging by the balcony on the front.
Another early image of the Angel Inn, Loftus, some time late 1890s from the style of dress. Brian Parker believes he may have relatives featured here. The 1891 Census lists: ”31 High Street: Edward Collins 56 years Innkeeper, Annie Collins wife 50 years, George Oliver 39 years Ostler/Groom,Florrie Cuthbert 19 years General Servant/Domestic, Bessie Ammonds 8 years Visitor, Barnie O’Hara 57 years Visitor/Lodger.”
Can anybody help with names and dates?

Well here I am once again asking for help, do you know this terrace of houses and where they are? Could it be East Crescent?

David Richardson tells us:-
These are the houses at the end of East Crescent, the structure on the hillside behind them is a Nursery.
Thank you for that confirmation of where these houses are  Hurray I was right for once.
Another one of Eileen Hicks photo’s named Higher Zetland Road. I love the horse and looking closely at the pavement near the horse it looks to be raised quite high, what date would you put on this photo?
The road that leads to South Loftus looks a muddy mess but of course they wouldn’t have been tarmaced when this photo was taken.
