I remember our first trip to Redcar on our trip to England. The Penny Arcades were our amusement for the day. It was the old pennies, the large ones. You would insert them in the machine, and they would roll down on their edges, to another pile of pennies. And you would hope your penny would tip the rest of the... [more]

My Uncle Isaac (Ike) Wiles was lighthouse keeper for 50 years until his retirement, when it became automatic. He was there all through the 2nd World War. He has passed away and his children no longer live locally and I would like to hear from anyone who has memories of the lighthouse or my uncle.

The house on the left with the four attics was my Grandma's house. I have lots of fond memories of this house. I even had my own bedroom! Mine was the second attic from the left and it enjoyed a beautiful view of the gardens below. Grandma used to run a bed and breakfast, with also some long term boarders. I... [more]

I stayed here with my mother and sisters when I was 5 and later when I was 11. Then it was owned by the Holiday Fellowship (now HF Holidays) who ran walking holidays for families.

I have happy childhood memories of walks to Upleatham's tiny church with my dad when I spent 15 years of my childhood living at Skelton. We would walk to the church through the fields from Barns Farm.
Even though I was so young I rember my mum saying that the little church had work done on it and so Dad took... [more]

We lived in Upleatham, my gran, grandad and my mum and dad. I was really young and my grandparents had lived there for a long time. We lived in a row of houses as the centre of the village and my grandad worked in the local saw mill and had other jobs. We had no electricity and no running hot or... [more]

I remember that The Green Howards (Army) did a renovation on the church some years ago. It could be anywhere between 1960 / 1970 ish, but I do remember that as a philatelist, a First Day Cover was issued and I bought one. Unfortunately I sold on my collection, so can't pinpoint that event. I know that they did a great... [more]

Extracts From Redcar & Cleveland books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Redcar, inspired by Frith photos.
With Redcar Pier in the background, horses and carriages wait to take families on a sightseeing tour along the sea front. One of the bathing machines, which were introduced here in the 18th century by Charles Turner, a landowner, can be seen to the left. The lady on her three-wheeler looks quite at ease pedalling along.
This is an extract from Times Gone By.

North Yorkshire Photographic Memories
When this photograph was taken, cycling was in vogue; the tricycle had been introduced during the 1870s. Most had two large driving wheels with a stabilizing wheel at either the front or back, or in some cases, both. Some tricycles were made to seat two people, either side by side, or in tandem.
