Another interesting picture from Claire Crossdale :- It has been suggested this might be a Darrington blacksmith, possible names George Richardson, Furbisher, William Binks. George Richardson has a Wentbridge connection. William Binks came from East Ardsley, lived at Wentbridge around the mid twentieth century. His wife was Eliza and they had quite a few children. My information is that the young lad on the left of the picture might be George Richardson. In 1911 George Richardson was five years old, living at the Ship Inn where his dad was the publican. I think the lad in the pic seems to be about twelve, or maybe more, so it might have been taken about 1918 or after. Banns for the marriage of William Binks, of the parish of Darrington, and Eliza Bower of the parish of Outwood were read at Darrington in January 1920. Do you know any of the people in this picture, do you recognise the location of the building or when the picture was taken. If you have any information or other pictures send them to the website at darrington.pc@tiscali.co.uk
Received an e-mail from Trina in Manitoba Canada.
Her Grandmother is Winnifred Yorke (nee Longstaff) her Grandmother's family
worked on the estate at Grove Hall around the early 1900's. Their last name was Whitlam,
Trina's Grandmother visited the hall for her 7th birthday in 1920, the Whitlam sisters
sang in the choir at St Luke's. --------------------------------------------------------------- The picture below is of
the Frost family of Darrington at the funeral of Lucy Jackson/nee frost, in 1955. In the
photo are William,Ethel,Mabel,Edith,Alice,Olive,Doris-?, and Mac, Frost. also
Harold,(husband) and Margaret(daughter) of Lucy. Contact me at the web site and I will forward any information to Bill
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following pictures are from a house clearance
at Castle Hill Road, Stapleton. It has been suggested that this is Stapleton football team circa 1930, Hi, regarding your
photograph of the football team, the gentleman holding the ball may well be called Frost.
My granddad William (Bill) Frost was born in Darrington in 1919, and his father was
called Lewis Frost born in 1888 and therefore the person may be a relation (I
don't think its actually him though). Thanks to Sue Spink for the information.
