Huntcliffe Cottages
On this photograph there is a little 'bump' on the horizon just below Warsett. That 'bump' is 3 railway cottages and my Dad lived in No. l with his parents and brother and sister around 1912 - 13ish when he was school age. He went to Brotton School where he met my mum. My grandad had the Signal Box at Huntcliff and then Carlin How and they then moved to Skinningrove. I was about 4 years old when Dad, Mum and I moved back to Huntcliff into No. 3. I loved my time up there. Our nearest neighbours were at Brough Cottage and the 3 farms round about were owned by Ventress, Williamson and Stephenson families. We had some rough winters when it was difficult to get to Brotton and to school and chapel but we had some wonderful summers too, when I got to spend hours outdoors, playing at the farm or in the fields. I used to catch newts, and frogspawn by the bottleful from pools in the 'Holey field'. My mum had to sneak it back into the pools when the opportunity arose! We walked up and down the path to Brotton at all times and all weathers to visit my grandparents and never ever thought of it not being safe to do so, in the dark. There was a badgers' sett in one field near us and of course lots of rabbits. I remember the Burnet Moths - black with red spots - clinging five or six at a time from knapweed flowers. Recently I walked round the cliffs to Skinnigrove and there is a pile of rubble where the old houses used to be. Johnsons cottage, which was near the old fan house, has gone over the cliff. I have been away from Huntcliff now for a long time but I consider it as 'where I come from'. It was a lovely childhood. Couldn't have been better! Last edited: 09/09/2008 09:26 by Georgina Smiles |

Upleatham A memory of Upleatham, Cleveland 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 cold water. We had an outhouse at the back of the house up a hill. It was really cold going up there in winter! No bathroom and the men used to shave in the kitchen using the sink. I remember that grandad had the kind of razor that he sharpened on a leather strap. My mum and gran had to do everything by hand, baking, washing and all the housework. Upleatham was a nice community and we knew everyone in the village. There were rooks that inhabited the woods behind our house and my grandad taught me everything about the nature around us. We took the bus into Saltburn once a week to get shopping and grocery supplies. How simple those days were. We kept a pig in a pigstye behind the house and it seemed that every true Yorkshire family had one. Milk came from the dairy or from my uncle's farm. Warm bread, fresh baked scones, all put on the table for tea. Yes, the times were hard but I think that I would not change those times for anything.

Upleatham Church A memory of Upleatham, Cleveland 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 clean up job, whitewashing the inner church and doing a general tidy up. I have recently been up to take my own photographs for my church 'Newsletter' as I do write up places of interest as a feature. If anyone could furnish me with facts about the church I would be pleased to hear from them. My email is jim.humphrey@ntlworld.com Last edited: 01/08/2007 12:57 by Jim Humphrey |

 Marske-By-The-Sea, Valley Gardens and High Street c1955 (ref: M40015) |
Year: 1950
Remembering Marske By The Sea A memory of Marske-By-The-Sea, Cleveland We came to Marske in August 1948 having just demobbed from the Army 9 weeks earlier, we purchased a shop at 221 High St selling groceries, rations, ice cream etc. Our daughter was just 5 weeks old and was baptized in St Germain Church, our son Peter went to school in the Old Tithe Barn, Mrs Buttery was the teacher. Mr Skippon ran the Pictures with 5 changes a week, each show had 2 features, a cartoon & news reel, he also ran the taxi business. Mrs Sanders worked hard for the British Legion [women's section]. Jack Lynch did a lot of work for us, he replaced the garden in front of the shop and made a concrete pad in front, & cement-faced the front wall, and also removed a wall inside the shop to make it bigger. Frank Carter was a very good friend to us, also Jean his daughter. Frank helped me a lot a & nothing was too much for him, we had pigs at the bottom of the garden and Frank would come & feed them while we were at the wholesalers, we had a cottage at the back of the shop and he helped me take out the wall under the window and pour a foundation under it and rebuild the wall, then we dug out the floor in the living room & poured a concrete floor. Jack Lynch rebuilt the chimney in the cottage. We had wonderful customers and enjoyed meeting them each day. The fishermen, the Lynches, Andersons & the Coopes along with Mr Downs [who was the owner of the Ship inn] all had boats down by the beach, and often brought their crab catch and put them down on our shop front where people bought them for about 9 pence each. We moved to Domanstown in 1955 when my wife had a nervous breakdown, we sold the shop to my mother and she sold it in 1956 when she moved back to Lancashire. We really enjoyed living and working in Marske and often reminise the good old days we lived there. We have been back to England many times over the years and been back to Marske a few times and have seen many changes. Trevor Williams. Last edited: 04/07/2008 10:05 by Trevor Williams |

 Marske-By-The-Sea, Entrance to Valley Gardens 1938 (ref: 88395) |
Year: 1960
This is my Grandma's house A memory of Marske-By-The-Sea, Cleveland 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 can remember helping to get the breakfast ready and putting it in the dumb waiter and running up the stairs and putting it by the door!! It was my job too to set the big dining table and call the guests for breakfast or tea. In the late afternoon we would retire to the cosy room and sit by the fire with the cuckoo clock ticking away the cold winter days!! I was just a girl then and this was my favorite place to come and was always coming in through the front door. I'd do anything to be there even if it meant helping my Gran with the chores. It was the last place I stayed in before we left England and came to Australia. Grandma kept the house for many years until it became too much for her. She turned it into two flats, one above and one below and sold the bottom one and moved to Spain Hill just down the road into a smaller house. Last edited: 30/06/2008 09:56 by Susan Kemble-Jones |
