We have to thank the Skelton and Brotton Local Board for their courteous consideration of Mr Flower's application for some lamps on the road between New Skelton and North Skelton.
They have deemed to place a sufficient number and we may hope to see them shortly in position.
This will be a great boon to North Skelton people, who have often found it a dark and disagreeable walk between the two places.

It is proposed to proceed at once with the renovation of the Old Churchyard. Any one desiring to mark the graves of deceased friends, or to clean or repair their monuments are requested to communicate with the Rector or Churchwardens at once.

The schools at Skelton and North Skelton are run by a School Board with attendance of 62%.

February - Parish Magazine:-
The Skelton Sick and Funeral Benefit Society started its second year of existence in a prosperous condition.
The reserve fund in the Bank is £22 6s 6d and there is £5 13s 10d to the credit of the funeral fund. The following were elected officers for this year - President, The Rev the Rector. Secretary, Rev J A Thompson and Sick Visitor, Sergt Armstrong, 71 High St, Skelton.

We are sorry to find there is an unforeseen difficulty in the way of lamps being placed between North Skelton and New Skelton.
The Gas Company's main which supplied the former village does not run along the highway between the two places as was expected.

February 14th - SKELTON BAND OF HOPE - Dr Stainthorpe gave an exhibition of pictures by means of his powerful lime light magic lantern to our Sunday Scholars.
The Drill Hall was crowded from end to end with close upon 700 eager observers, who evidently highly appreciated the pictures as they appeared in rapid succession upon the white sheet.

March - There are rumours about that we are to have a railway station of our own either at the Saltburn road crossing or Holly Bush Farm.
We trust it may be so. Railway directors are sometimes slow to move unless they see their way to making a good thing for themselves. forgetting that the interests and convenience of the public should be considered.
They probably do not know that a Skelton station would serve some 4,000 people [leaving the Green for Boosbeck], in Old Skelton, New Skelton and North Skelton.
A business man said the other day that he considered Skelton was fined something like £2,000 a year by having to bring merchandise etc from Boosbeck or Brotton at a charge of 3s a ton, when it could be had from our own station at 1 shilling per ton.
All persons interested should combine to press our claims upon the North Eastern Directorate and keep pegging away with statistics, complaints and other arguments till they give us a Station.
The following measurements from the Ordnance Map are interesting in view of the question.
From suggested site on Saltburn road between bridge and signal cabin [where the road turns into Long Acre] to lamp post at Saltburn lane end, 610 yards, thence to Post Office, 540 yards.
So that this site would be within two thirds of a mile from centre of village.
Holly Bush site is 170 yards further off, or three quarters of a mile from the Post Office, so that either site would come within about half the distance from Boosbeck to the Post Office, to say nothing of saving the tremendous climb over the hill.

May - The old Church yard has at last been renovated - the ground levelled and the headstones put upright. The Rector and the Churchwardens desire to express their obligation to the Squire and to thank him for the public spiritedness with which he undertook the whole cost of the work.

July - On the 8th it is proposed to have a united gathering of the Clubs of the Parish.
They will march together from the Cross Green, in full regalia, to the Parish Church.
The Free Gardeners, the Oddfellows, the Shepherds and others have signified their intention to be present.
The Free Gardeners and Oddfellows, adult and juvenile sections, will meet at their respective Lodge rooms and march to meet the procession of Shepherds from Lingdale and Gardeners from Boosbeck on the High Green.
The joint procession will then march from Dr Dunn's corner to the Cross Green and thence to the Parish Church.
The Pride of Lingdale will meet at their Lodge room at 1.15 and the Miner's Pride, Free Gardeners of Boosbeck at 2pm.
The Skelton Free Gardener's Brass Band will head the procession.
A later entry shows that 1,000 people attended this gathering and the church proved "too small for the congregation".
