From a Photo taken with a No. 5 Poco Camera by M. Heavisides. I pass the clean bright church and its buildings, and, walking onwards, observe that the residencies are built of freestone, which gives them a substantial appearance. The decades of their age is marked by the varying roofs, as they embrace thatch, flags, tiles and slates… I arrive at the quaint and ancient hostelry of the “Red Lion,� which is to be my headquarters for a short period. On entering, I explain to the hostess that I am a stranger to Cotherstone- have heard of the rustic old Mill on the Balder, the Fairy Cupboards, Thor’s Gill, etc., and desire a guide to those interesting places. A bright-eyed girl, of about seven summers, with peach blossom cheeks and dark lustrous eyes is asked to accompany me, but she doesn’t know the way to the Fairy Cupboards; so Hilton, her brother, a year older, is brought forth. He possesses a beaming face and good-natured expression, and readily assents to be my escort. They partake of light refreshment, and now we are off on our adventures full of mirth.

A Pictorial History of Stockton-on-Tees
Stockton – How big is our town, when Stockton is mentioned we all think of the town but how big is it really, nowadays with the car it is just from here to here or there to there. The average Stocktonian would travel no more than seven miles at any one time in the early Twentieth Century, so living in the Town of Stockton depending in which direction you travelled may never have ventured out of Stockton in your life time. Leaving the town the other day and I noticed a sign saying Airport seven plus miles and I was a mile out of Stockton town then, so how well did we and still now know Stockton. Roy.
The photograph of the church and school is the wrong way around.
