Daily
Gazette for Middlesbrough, 6 August 1883: SKINNINGROVE MINSER’S INSTITUTE.
HORTICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY. The above Society, undoubtedly one of the
most progressive of its kind in Cleveland, held its eighth annual exhibition on
Saturday last in a field pleasantly situated within half a mile at the village
of Skinningrove and the German ocean. It was Queen’s weather. The sun from
early morning shon out magnificently, and although at
noon the heat was somewhat intense, the gentle breezes wafted up the valley
from the sea so tempered the burning rays as to make the day and most enjoyable
one. Shortly after noon Sir John J W Peace, Bart., MP, accompanied by his
daughter, Miss Ethel, and a young gentleman, paid a visit to the show field.
Sir Joseph expressed the pleasure it gave him to see every department so well
represented, and paid a high compliment to the band, conducted by Mr Jabez
Parsons, who during the honourable gentleman’s stay performed several choice
selections of music in grand style, including the “Gems of Scottish Song.” The
show in itself was decidedly an improvement on its predecessors. In the amateur
class flowers were fairly represented to, whilst the fruit exhibited looked
luxurious and tempting. Vegetables were a most excellent show, the entrants
being numerous, and the quality good. The same remarks equally apply to the
cottager’s class. A nice lot of pigs, canaries, and British birds, poultry,
ducks, eggs, rabbits, were also shown and special prizes were given for the
best cottager’s gardens. In the ornamental and mechanical department there
was a great improvement, especially in fretwork, the first prize being awarded
to Mr George Farndale for a magnificent clock frame, the design being purely
gothic, made of black walnut and white Maple, nicely varnished...
