Cloughton 1955
My great-grandfather Ted Allan used to be the tailor at the little shop right next to the grocery shop on this photo. We used to travel up to Cloughton every Bank Holiday from the Midlands in a car just like the one in the photo.... I wonder if this was our car??? I also have lots of memories of visiting my great-grandad Isaac Sanderson and his daughter Laura Lazenby on my father's side. I visit Cloughton and Burniston whenever I can. I used to be taken to the Baptist Chapel and the Methodist Chapels on my visits but for some reason I was christened at St Mary's Church. Cloughton. I can only think this was my mother putting her foot down against the In Laws!!!! Lots of other memories of this beautiful area.

RE: RE: Cloughton 1955
Your great grandfather was actually called Thomas and not Ted. Ted was my father and he was one of Thomas's sons along with your grandmother Edith. If you would like any more information then please do not hesitate to contact me
