Yoshino - Elswick - 1892

    Note the beautifully crafted steel 'cruiser' sterns on the ships behind, never again will ships look so pretty.

    What a wonderfull old picture TWAM, I'll bet THAT visitor was'nt comfortable in that rig he was wearing. No one can say that the Japanese did'nt learn how to use the ships and expertise that they took away from Jolly Old England.

    Here's a lovely Japanese Christmas card (also from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums), sent from Lieutenant Akemoto to James Donnelly, who was a foreman at Armstrong's Elswick shipyard. When Lieutenant Akemoto came to Newcastle to inspect naval guns being built by Armstrong, he stayed with James Donnelly and his family. After his return to Japan, he kept in touch with his hosts and sent them postcards and gifts from time to time. www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.php?id=TWCMS:1994.194.1&...

Second Lieutenant Harold Armstrong

  • Christian Lüts said:
    Born in the last quarter of 1893 Dewsbury, West Yorks. The youngest child and only son of Robert Armstrong [b.1869 Wragby, Lincs.] a Draper & Hosier and Clara Alice Armstrong nee Wigglesworth [b.1867 Cleckheaton, Yorks.]. The 1901 census records him living at 65 Daisy Hill, Dewsbury, Yorks. with his parents and older sister, Lilian [b.1893 Dewsbury, Yorks.] [although his year of birth is the same as that of his sister, they are not twins. His birth was registered in the last quarter of 1893 while that of his sister was in the first quarter, so there was less than a year between them [but, obviously more than nine months!] Also living with the family are a domestic servant and five other servants whose employment details indicate that they were employees of his father’s business. Not found in the 1911 census but his parents, sister and a domestic servant are now living at 65 Westgate, Dewsbury. His Medal Records Card shows that he had served with the Yorkshire Dragoons in the rank of Cpl. He was commissioned on 2nd June 1916 and served with the Northumberland Fusiliers. The card further states that he was missing and reported killed on 14th November 1916. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.

Testing guns at the firing range, Silloth

    Still waiting for your write up as I say this but.. were the guns 'proven' on Tyneside or taken elsewhere for testing? I can't imagine huge bangs along the river! Mind, stranger things happened..

    Hi [https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] this one was taken at Silloth-on-Solway, although Ridsdale in Northumberland was also frequently used.

    Another great industrial image. Some of the worlds greatest battleships were built at Elswick.
