Hi, Great pictures, not seen most of them, weve Stayed in Loftus, Carlin how a few times for breaks away. The Industrial and railway history is interesting, me and are dog walked all over that area. Liverton mines & Skinningrove cant belive what was there years ago. Just like are home towns of Leeds & Dewsbury. I like the Cleveland coast, Skinningrove beach in Summer is a hidden bit of northern paradise 😊. O good choice of music used, fits well with black and white photos!

Cleveland, Ohio USA was the home of several major iron and steel producers in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Also John D Rockefeller had his oil refinery facilities in Cleveland. Surprisingly, John D Rockefeller had his summer home in East Cleveland, Ohio until he moved to New York.
