John Knaggs
 | 000013
This picture was taken circa 1957 at the rear of the home of Billy and Edith Green, his Mums friends and founders of Greens & Sons. In the background you can see the rear of the Lingdale Tavern and what looks to be a delivery being made, the garage to the right was once used to store a milk delivery van. Edith Knaggs holds John Knaggs in her arms shortly after his birth in July 1957, they lived just along the back street at 2 Dixon St, behind their home was the slaughter house and from the outside toilet you could sit and listen to Lingdale Silver prize band practicing in their hut, just up the back St.

They lived at 9 Dale Terrace, and raised 8 children, who attended Lingdale school. He was a deputy at the ironstone mines.

Elizabeth Simons (nee) Griffiths
 | 000027
Elizabeth moved to Lingdale when she was 18 months old with her family, she should have left school at 14 but her parents paid for her to stay on an extra year until she was 15. She then worked in what is now Bells shop at the end of Davison Street, but it was a grocers shop when she worked there in 1910. After a while she left Lingdale and went to work as the housekeeper for the Bishop of Ilkey, at one point she began training as a deaconess in the Church of England, but with the First World War she became a nurse, first in a naval hospital in Hull, then moving on to do midwifery and district nursing in Edinburgh, before becoming assistant matron of a nursing home in Norfolk. She and Reg were married in 1936 and she moved back to Lingdale. Among other things she was the "nit nurse" at the village school and held first aid classes for the Red Cross.

Reg Simons

Reg owned the butchers and what is now the post office but was a grocers shop when he had it, he was also a JP and councilor on Skelton and Brotton District Council, as well as being an auctioneer and owning a number of properties in Lingdale and Boosbeck. He also owned a garden on Cockburn Street, next to the old school - part of this he leased to the school for their allotment, the school dining hall was also on this land - the kids having to cross the road for their school dinner. He also donated another plot of this land to the Silver Band to build their practice hut on (they still practice there today). The village air raid shelters were also on his land - they are still there too.

Leonard & Ann Frankland
 | 000029
Leonard and Ann lived in Davison Street in the first house of the terrace on the hill, I don't know when they first arrived in Lingdale but Leonard was the Schoolmaster and maybe Headmaster at the Lingdale Council School for 27 years.
He was a keen gardener and was secretary of the Beekeepers Association in Cleveland.
I remember visiting them every weekend during the war years and always went with him to visit his hives near Lockwood Beck and his allotment behind the High Street on the side of the shale heap. The smell of homegrown tomatoes and raffia hanging in his greenhouse will stay with me.
I recall there used to be a procession on Whit Sunday when all the little girls were donned in new summer dresses, always with white socks and a pretty bonnet. We then walked from the Lingdale mission to Boosbeck Church and it always seemed to be a lovely day.
Another memory is of the milkman delivering milk in his little cart and the milk being ladled from the churn into a jug which my grandmother covered with a beaded cloth, and the corner shops with their wonderful smells and all manner of household goods hanging from hooks in the ceiling.

George & Sarah Featherstone
 | 000030
Photograph shows George Featherstone seated in centre with the accordion, son in law Leslie Frankland on his left and his son Sidney Feathertone on the extreme left.
George and Sarah Featherstone lived in the High Street in a large terrace house on the way out of Lingdale towards Boosbeck (it is no longer there). They arrived in Lingdale sometime between 1912 and 1917 where their youngest child was born.
They had previously lived for some years at Moorsholm where several of their children were born, including Elaines mother. Sadly they had both died before Elaine was born. George had a connection with the Lingdale Sword dancers and may have even formed the group (see photograph above).
Sarah Featherstone was a church stalwart and her obituary speaks of the excellent work she had done for the church and social organisations with which she had been associated.

Barnys Parish Patch
 | 000036
Community policeman John Barnard must be everyone's idea of the friendly local bobby - big and solid, quietly spoken, with the fresh face of a countryman.
It's typical of the kind of person he is that he's universally known - even by his own two daughters - as Barny.
His patch is the parish of Lockwood which covers Lingdale, Boosbeck, Charlton's Margrove Park and Moorsholm.
It's a pretty big area, and each community in it is different, Barny reckons.
He's 49 now and he's been there for five years. "I've another six years to go and I hope I can see my service out here" he says.
He gets around his patch on his feet and the local bus. I'll walk over the field footpath from Lingdale to Moorsholm, for example, and then get the mini-bus back"
He looks on his job as combining the work of a policeman with that of a social worker. But mostly I like to think of myself as a friend. He's a welcome visitor in the local schools where he pops in regularly to talk to the children. "If there's any building work going on I tell them about the dangers of playing on building sites, things like that.
We had a bit of trouble with skateboards for a time. Youngsters at risk with them on the road so we talked about that. And the children confide in you if they've got any problems.
But they're good kids in the villages. They don't have the same facilities as they do in towns but they make their own entertainment.
"We had a motorcycle problem here up on Busky Moor. Then Skelton and Gilling estates let them have a site and they run their own motorbike club now."
Barny has been in the Force for 21 years after serving ten years in the Royal Navy. The Navy still holds a big place in his heart and he spends some of his annual leave going on RN courses where he can meet up with old mates again.
EXTRA HOURS
He is also commanding officer of the Sea Cadets in Guisborough, where they have recently added a girls section. He 'spreads the word' of their activities around his beat and ropes in a lot of youngsters from Lockwood.
Barny spends many extra hours on his patch involved in community activities, like helping to run Lingdale's annual carnival and talking to organisations such as the parish council and the residents association.
But it's the individual relationships he forms that he really enjoys. Like the old lady who lost her pet rabbit.
"A stray dog had got in and the rabbit had vanished. The old lady kept asking me if I'd seen it anywhere so one day I said to her, it's black and white isn't it. I only knew because I happened to have seen it just a day or two before it went missing. "It was, she said so I told her I'd just caught a glimpse of it up Stanghow Lane running about in a field with a lot of brown ones. "She was so pleased and regularly inquired about it after that. I just hadn't the heart to tell her the dog had probably eaten it long since!.
Then there was an old miner, a real local character. I asked him one day what he thought was the best invention he'd seen in his lifetime. He had no hesitation. Tarmacadam, he said. When you look at roads nowadays and think of what they used to be like - we had to spend half our time mending our punctures.
"Many a time you'd see men on their way back and forth from work sitting by the roadside mending a puncture. There's none of that now with Tarmacadam!.
Barny's pet hate is litter and he's determined to stamp it out on his patch. "People dump anything. There was even a boat dumped up here. Can you imagine anyone going to the trouble of towing a boat up here to dump it?
"but I am having a purge on it. I rummage through it wherever I find litter, looking for anything that'll help trace whoever dumped it.

Martin Richardson
 | 000106
Martin Richardson was baptised in Liverton on 19th October 1873. He was the 7th child of Robert (a tailor) and Mary Ann Richardson (nee Shaw).
As a young man Martin went down the ironstone mines with his older brothers.
He married Helen Ursula Harrison in Loftus on 6th March 1902 when he was 29 years old. After the wedding they went to live in Boosbeck.
He had some sort of accident while in the mines and crushed both his legs, which meant he had to come out of the mines.
He went to work as a groomsman on Lord Wharton's estate. This was an ideal job for Martin as he loved horses and would ride point to point with his younger brother Arthur. His daughter told us a story of how as a young man he rode a horse up the steps at Whitby for a bet. Needless to say he won the bet.
Helena Ursula Harrison was born in Whitby in 1875 and as a five year old moved to Loftus.
She went into service as many of her generation did. While in service at sleights she had a son William George Harrison born 1895 when she was 20 years old.
Martin and Helen had three daughters and one son. Lydia (Winnie as she was known), Gwen and Bessie all went into service and left Boosbeck as young women but all three returned and died there. They are buried in the cemetery along with their parents.
Their son Lewis went into the army and served with the Seaforth Highlanders. He spent time in India and when he left the army he was a Major.
(Lewis is the one we know least about).

Aubrey Hill with Ida, Edith and Hilda Wiles

In August 2006 a re-union took place in Whitby, where 45 Wiles family members ranging in age from 8 months to 84 years were present for at least a part of the week. Four members of the family, all born in Lingdale, made a return visit. The first person they met was able to show them where Coral street had stood, and when asked if Aubrey Hill was still in the village said that a lady then walking towards them would know. Sure enough she was able to take them to meet Aubrey, who was very surprised to meet former neighbours who had left Lingdale in 1938.
The photograph shows Aubrey Hill outside his home with Ida, Edith and Hilda Wiles.

Long round comes to an end
 | 000870
Rain, Snow or blow the newspapers have to be delivered and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ditchburn of 35 High Street, Lingdale are retiring at the end of the month after 34 years of making sure that they were.
Mr Ditchburn and his wife Violet have been in business at Lingdale for all of those 34 years.
Their Cleveland paper round includes Stanghow and Moorsholm village and of all the winters he has had to endure, Mr Ditchburn recalls that 1947 was his worst.
"There were seven weeks when the only way to get walking, though was often through snow deep enough to cover the tops of the walls. We never missed a day, although it took four hours for every delivery", he recalled.
The couple are to live at Loftus, but the family business will be continued by their daughter and son in law, Mr & Mrs John Wood.
