Description: | Elvaston cottages, Cross Inn and through the trees Ryton Rectory and Holy Cross Church. Elvaston cottages were demolished in the 1950s. The Three Jolly Lads public house, built in the same style, stood next to the cottage pictured on the right of the photograph on the site of the current Jolly Fellows. The original Cross Inn (once the Coach and Horses) can also be seen in the background before its Edwardian remodelling in 1909. This image is taken from one of a number of glass plate negatives collected by W.A. Cocks of Ryton. W.A. Cocks was a keen local historian, archaeologist and an inveterate collector. He not only collected and played pipes, but also made them. He helped to produce the first ever book of plans for making Northumbrian pipes and researched extensively into the history of the pipes in the region. His collection of glass plates date from the late 1890s to the 1950s. Many of the early images were taken by J.P. Dalton, Surveyor to Ryton Urban District Council between 1898 and 1905. The plates are numbered and an annotated notebook in Cock's hand accompanies the collection from which title and date information is taken. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Cottages Streets | Temporal: | name=Edwardian; start=1901; end=1910; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
