A view of Hinderwell High Street, even today the butcher’s shop shown still operates, although with a different name on the frontage.

This view of the harbour at Port Mulgrave was taken in 1980.

Thanks to Janet Wilson for this photo of her father, Denis Codling, in his boat at Port Mulgrave.

Now this is a place that we don’t have many photographs of, but isn’t this one great with the boys and their metal hoops. Thanks go again to Keith Bowers for the loan of the photograph.  Have you any photo’s you would like to share with us?

Thanks to Beryl Morris for this view of St. Hilda’s Church, Hinderwell.  The card was posted in Whitby on 14th March, 1905.

This card was published by T. Watson, Lythe.  I had no idea where the mill was but have found it marked on an old map.  It was a corn mill and was behind the High Street, to the south west, between the road and the railway.  It would have been close to where the Serenity Camp Site is now.

A very different view from the one that I know of this road.  It’s the A174 as you drive through Hinderwell towards Whitby, just beyond the war memorial and Runswick Lane.  The station site is now small industrial units.

Sheila Roots advises: ”The little boy in the sailor suit is my father – William Harrison who lived at 4 Brown’s Terrace. I think the other boy is called Jack and they are sitting at the top of the lane leading to Brown’s Terrace.                 My brother & I used to stand on the bridge and watch the trains go underneath.”

Thanks to Beryl Morris for this card (published by T. Watson, Lythe) and Sheila Roots for the update.

This old postcard cannot be dated as yet – any ideas?
