Some great photos from Echo reader's family archive

Park Lane, Guisborough, where Tony Marshall was born

Park Lane

Mr Marshall’s father was a police officer in the North Riding Constabulary and the family moved moved around the county quite a bit. Mr Marshall Sr began his police service as a cadet in Guisborough, just before the Second World War.

There is a general shot of Park Lane, where the Marshall family lived when Tony was born, with the fire station on the right. There is another photograph of the police station – you can tell it is wartime by the substantial blast wall in front of the central entrance.

The police station

Mr Marshall Sr no doubt had some tales to tell of his Second World War experiences because the heavy industry around Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland was bombed almost nightly, and often accidentally, by German aircraft from their bases in Norway.

The Marshall family also lived in Scarborough. Here is a view from the castle steps looing down to the harbour
