Penny Arcades A memory of Redcar, Cleveland 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 pennies, and you would get a win, with a large amount of pennies returned in the bucket at the bottom. There were many types of these machines, in those days. It kept us amused that day, and I always hold in my memories of that town. Last edited: 24/11/2008 08:59 by Evelyn Jepson |

 Redcar, Lighthouse at River Tees Mouth 1925 (ref: 77751) |
Lighthouse A memory of Redcar, Cleveland 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. Last edited: 04/11/2008 13:36 by Janet Baker |

 Guisborough, 1891 (ref: 29208) |
Year: 2000
A Family Camp At Tocketts Mill Near Guisborough A memory of Guisborough, Cleveland I had a lovely weekend "up north" to attend a family party in Middlesbrough as my wife's brother-in-law Robert Arbin was celebrating his 60th birthday. As it was summer we thought it would nice to camp and we found an attractive camping and caravan park at Tocketts Mill just outside Guisborough. Elizabeth and I camped in our old familiar festival tent and our son David camped with his then fiancee Amanda in their spiffing new tent nearby. The site was lovely, and made our weekend in Guisborough pleasant. There was a TV room and I remember watching an international football match and drinking a cool beer! What a nice site and what nice people in Guisborough! Last edited: 13/07/2008 23:50 by John Howard Norfolk |

 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 |
