An excellent tinted postcard view of the parish church. Part of the Phoenix Series produced by Brittain & Wright, Stockton-on-Tees.
A beautiful tinted postcard of Skelton High Street. Traffic free and so peaceful. The building on the right is the former Skelton Co-operative Store, still standing today. Roger Barwick tells us: ”I believe the gentleman on the right walking past the Coop is my Grandad William Barwick who lived at No 9 High street. He passed away in 1955. My Mam had the same card and she had written that it was Grandad.”
Foulsyke from the air, obviously a lovely sunny day! Image supplied by Cody McKay.
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.” Image courtesy of Brian Parker and thanks to Eric Johnson for the update..
Moorhead Terrace Easington this time, consisting of three cottages. Corner Cottage, sold for £460 and wow it had electric light. The next cottage also had electric light, but water was still obtained from the fountain across the road. The last on the terrace was the police house, electric light but no running water. |
