The heading tells us where it is and have the men stopped for a break or just to pose for the photo? This photo is from the tramway that went in the direction of Saltburn at the Upleatham Mine workings and dates from 1910 Thanks to David for that information Yes indeed this is a ‘classic’ photograph of Upleatham Miners and NOT Eston . Again taken c1910 near to the East Winning Mine entrance. Thank you Mike, what would I do without you men keeping me on the right track?
Why the constable? From the unfinished state of the drift entrance I’d say it’s either under construction or there has been an accidental collapse at the front face. I’m sure there are people out there who will put me right – I hope there are! Mike says ”This photo shows you miners at work at the recently filled in East Winning digging out Lost Pillars c. 1890. The men in the picture are from left to right. He also says ”PC Welburn as well as been the village policeman was also responsible for collecting due rents from the inhabitants of the house’s as owned by Pease & Partners. With the mine owners being a strict Quaker family – there was a ZERO tolerence on alcahol and gambling – ‘many a village’s “still”raided and the tennants evicted in the name of Pease & Partners. PC Wellburn died in 1910 due to pneumonia at the age of 52.” I knew someone would know – thanks Mike, rodders
Five gold stars to the person who can fill in the names – two gold stars taken off if you use Chapman’s books for reference! Only joking! looking at the midges on display this group also includes the working management of the mine, not just the topside management. From the great grandaughter of William Hall, mining engineer – 1852 – 1942, at New Marske. Original photo all named in William Hall’s handwriting. Back Row L-R: B.Robinson,J.(Darkie)Reed,Ralph Clark,Dan Bailey,Harry Bowes,Wilf Hardy,Henry Goldfinch. Middle Row L-R: Pev Thompson,William Douthwaite,Walter Durance,J.Hood,William ‘Wood’ Sigsworth,’Tiny’ Thirkettle. Front Row L-R: William Hall,Joe Beaumont,William Howes,Christopher ‘Kit’ Heslop,William Durance,William Jones,John Bevan. (thanks to Mike Holliday)
This has to be either bizarre or this group are the owners and their families! Who would visit an iron ore mine in walking out clothes! All the same a very good image of the travelling drift at Upleatham – can’t think why the tub would be on its side though! Any ideas as to who they are? |
