A delightful view of the Fox and Hounds at Dalehouse. Simon Chapman advises us with regards to dating: ”Note in the background to the left – the bridge which carried the railway from Port Mulgrave to Grinkle Mine - At this point it crossed both the road and Easington Beck. The mine was abandoned in 1934 so the picture was probably taken before that date.”
Nice different view of Staithes, with Cowbar Cottages on the hill at the right hand side. These are believed to have been built by Mark Palmer (mineowner who lived at Grinkle Park) as housing for his mine worker from the former Grinkle mine, this being situated in the valley below the present Potash mine. Thanks go to Joyce Dobson for the loan of the photo and to Neil Suckling for the update.
One more of Joyce Dobson’s photographs, at first glance it looks rather modern but then looking closer you can see that it is a beautifully tinted old photo.
Another early newspaper cutting from I would think about the 1930’s but it hasn’t changed much has it?
Another photo of Staithes carnival showing Margaret Suckling (nee Verrill) her brother Johnny and her sister Sarah Hannah Cole (nee Suckling), Harold Armstrong is the ’Duke Of Wellington, many will remember him as fisherman and coxswain of the Runswick Bay Lifeboat. Thanks go to Neil Suckling for the photo and the information.
Neil Suckling who loaned us this photo thinks it maybe ’Fair Week’ in 1965 the last time they did a procession like this. He can identify: ”the lady front right, in the gold trimmed dress, is my grandma, Margaret Ward Suckling (nee Verrill)”. Can you recognise anyone there? Patricia Taylor (nee Geraghty) tells us: ”This is the Staithes cast of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ which was performed one day during the carnival in the year this photo was taken – Beth Hicks is in costume at the front right of the picture. The balcony scene was delivered from the first floor of one of the buildings in the High Street.” Phil Ransome suggests: ”It may be John Pearson in the red and blue tights!”. Thanks to Patricia for the update.
When I first saw this I thought it was a modern photo, but looking closer it is an old photo that has been tinted and very nicely too.
A Frith postcard taken about? and no I didn’t punch the holes in it.
Well in this instant it did, has a larger one been landed since 1937?
What more can I say about this photo that Keith Bowers loaned us, it’s a typical Staithes photo and even if it wasn’t named lots would know where it was! This is a view of Barrass House at the head of The Barrass, despite the title on the original image. Thanks to Steve Fathers for the update. |
