Skelton High Street

Skelton High Street

An 1890 view of the High Street, before even the Skelton Institute building was erected in 1900.
The building in the front right of this view was the Co-operative Butchery (possibly the original slaughter house), note it’s proximity to the High Street. To the right and not in view was the original Post Office.

Skelton High Street

Skelton High Street

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.”

Ryan's Shop

This double image is a postcard and reverse of Ryan’s shop once a feature of the Market Place, Loftus. Brought to the Archive by Robert Graham’s granddaughter, the card included details of Robert , but unfortunately no others are mentioned. Can you help?

Ryan’s shop situated in the Market Place, managed it is believed by Mr Robert Graham who features in the image. Robert Graham lived in ”Tin City” at Boulby and arranged a petition (Robert’s letter presented the petition to The Minister of Health (in London) to prevent the demolition of the village by Loftus Urban District  Council in 1935. This image could well date from this time.
