ANOTHER ALBUM

A BIT OF NEWS by F.M. Sutcliffe. 'Lomar Will' Storm
(1798-1885) is on the right of the picture which, like so
many of the kind, tells only part of the truth about Bay,
for although 'Lomar Will' was a fisherman, he had served
on ships and was also owner of several trading brigs. On
the left is Harrison Allison, village baker and also
shipowner. Also in the picture are Thomas Baxter and Mary
Emmerson. Lomar Will was the official Minstrel of the Fylingdales friendly society known as the Ancient Shepherds; the Shepherds "walk" to the church was an annual event of importance. (Photograph by courtesy of the Sutcliffe Gallery, Whitby) |
