A lovely Skilbeck postcard of Skinningrove loaned to us by Mrs Waton. Looking closely, what are the buildings on the left hand side going up the cliff road. Come on you Grovers tell me what they were. PLEASE!

A lovely shot of Cattersty sands and the cliffs, taken by C.O. Smelt who I think used to have Skinningrove post office. The postcard is believed to date form 1931? (Postcard courtesy of Mrs Waton)
Once again we see Primrose Hill starting to be demolished, with the works towering in the background.
Skinningrove before it was re-built, looks like a good dry for the washing. Thanks go to Eric Johnson for the photo.
It is rather a cloudy dark moody photo loaned to us by Eric Johnson but a lovely photo never the less. Taken from an unusual position shows the works off very well.
Taken from Carlin How this shows the valley off nicely, but sadly Primrose Hill is starting to be demolished. Again thanks go to Eric Johnson for the photo.
Well not really as someone else must have been there to take this wonderful photo loaned to us by Eric Johnson. It looks so calm and peaceful away from the noise and the dirt of the steel wotks on the cliff top. Colin Hart tells us: ”the picture is Dereck(Midge)Purver on his boat Lynn. I spent many hours along with his son Brian fishing and potting on the same boat.” Thanks to Colin for the update.
Not in very good shape by the look of it the mines certainly did some damage to property in 1938.
As Raymond says: The concensus of opinion is that this is the first junction of the zig-zag, with the ’tail’ of the first section coming off the photo at the bottom (originally to run under the viaduct, but after the viaduct was in-filled, stopping short just before) – thanks Colin and Russ – rodders
This photo shows how Skinningrove was built in the valley with the gas works, gasometers and the mine buildings showing on the right hand side. |
