<\/span><\/a>REDCAR. <\/span><\/b>
\nby Peter Proletarius<\/b> 1863 (Aka George Markham Tweddell<\/b> – Stokesley)<\/span>
\nFrom his book ‘A Visitor’s Guide to Redcar, Coatham and Saltburn by the Sea’<\/i><\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n“Redcar! upon thy firm, smooth sands I love<\/span>
\nTo loiter in the pleasant Summer time,<\/span>
\nWhen Phoebus drives his fiery wain aloft,<\/span>
\nAnd zephyrs waft the fragrance of the vale,<\/span>
\nMix’d with the coolness of old Ocean’s breath,<\/span>
\nAcceptable alike to youth and age,<\/span>
\nJoy to the hale, and healing to the ill.<\/span>
\nSee what a fleet of vessels gaily glide,<\/span>
\nLike graceful swans, upon the glassy sea,<\/span>
\nBringing the riches of each foreign land<\/span>
\nIn happy exchange for our industry.<\/span>
\nAnother day, perchance on angry waves<\/span>
\nThese ships will toss; grim Neptune in his rage,<\/span>
\nLike raving madman, striving to destroy<\/span>
\nAll that hath taken years of toil to make.<\/span>
\nBut now in calm the sea-god seems to sleep,<\/span>
\nAnd Cleveland’s maidens in the limpid waves,<\/span>
\nBathe their fair limbs, as Dian did of old;<\/span>
\nWhilst the sands sparkle, as with diamonds strewn.”<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nPeter Proletarius<\/b> (Aka George Markham Tweddell <\/b>– Stokesley)<\/span>

\nBelow are some postcards…<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBelow are some interesting postcard views of Redcar from, I think, after the turn of the 19thC. The stamp is dated September 1925 but I think the postcard’s are older.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThey were sent by Harry Parsons of Thornaby to Winifred Hackworth – a decedent of Timothy Hackworth, the Shildon Railway engineer and was in the collection of my kids grandmother – Joan Hackworth Weir.<\/span>
