Nostalgia: Five friends enjoy playing near Eller Beck

RECENTLY we published an old picture of undeveloped land at Back Water Street, in Skipton, where Eller Beck ran past and under the road near Coach Street. You could just make out the steps leading down to the beck. This week we have been sent a photo dating back to around 1930 showing a group of five friends enjoying a summertime play near the beck. The picture was sent in by Ann Garner and shows her, mother, Florence Dent, who was born in Back Water Street in 1922, sitting on the left. She is with friends Freda and Rita Moore and Sheila and Margaret Gale.

Distinctions

Distinctions In the summer of 1851, the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations was held in London. “The Great Exhibition” was organised under the Presidency of HRH Prince Albert and benefited from the astute management of Henry Cole, the industrial designer credited with the introduction of the first Christmas card in 1843. The Great Exhibition became a symbol of Britain’s “Golden Years” - showcasing the cultural and technological achievements of the mid-Victorian era.  Visited by six million people - equivalent to a third of the population of Britain at that time - exhibits included ‘Bakewell’s image telegraph’ (a precursor of the modern fax machine); the ‘Tempest Prognosticator’ (a barometer using leeches); and the modern pay toilet, with over 800,000 visitors paying one penny for the privilege and in so doing coining the expression, “Spending a penny!”
