"In affectionate Remembrance of John Appleyard born at Laceby 3rd February 1837. Died 12th May 1915."
He was a gardener and the brother of William Apppleyard, printer and stationer. In 1911 according to the they lived at Laceby House, The Avenue, Linthorpe. Both were listed as widowers. Mr John Appleyard had four children. Mr William Appleyard had one son and two daughters living at home from a total of 9 two of whom had died.
Appleyard Wm. & Sons, Ltd, as they are described in Ward’s Directory of 1910 – 11, were printers, stationers, lithographers, account book manufacturers, relief stampers and bookbinders. Their telephone number was National 156, and their address was 14 Albert Road; printing works, Short Street.
The object of the booklet is to show a few examples of printing, which may prove of some interest and service. It is in fact a marketing tool, designed to show off the quality of work that Appleyard and Sons Ltd could produce. It is quite apparent from the booklet that the work was of the highest quality.
In the pamphlet Appleyard’s state that, ‘All the samples shown have been executed on the premises of the firm, and it is hoped that they may be of assistance to those who are requiring work done, and may suggest ideas for drawing up ‘copy’.
As well as drumming up some more business for the firm, the booklet marks a period of expansion for the firm, who until 1909, were based at 12 Royal Exchange. The date 1909 is present in one or two of the examples of printing. However, as shown in the illustration of the shop premises in the booklet, when it was published Appleyard’s had just moved to 14 Albert Road. So not just a commercial tool, but also a celebration of the firm’s success, and its move to new and more prestigious premises.
Although the new premises look quite impressive, sadly they have been demolished now. 14 Albert Road is at the end of Albert Road nearest to the Railway Station, and just up from where the Royal Exchange was. The printing works were just a little distance away, in Short Street, as can be seen from the OS map detail. This whole area, behind Albert Road, and including Short Street is now gone. The premises at 14 Albert Road are marked on the OS map detail, also included. If anyone is familiar with this part of Albert Road, the attractive property, shown in the sketch, was just about opposite the Hank Sharpe Travel shop.
From ‘A Descriptive Account of Middlesbrough Illustrated’, published in 1894, (M942) before Appleyard’s moved from the Royal Exchange, is this extract, dealing with what was then called The Printing and Publishing Company, Mr. W. Appleyard – sole proprietor.
‘The business of the Printing and Publishing Company is an old established one, and came into Mr. Appleyard’s hands in the year 1875.’
‘Mr. W. Appleyard gives a personal supervision to the general administration, and he is ably assisted by his two sons, Mr. W. G. Appleyard, who manages the works department at Short Street, and Mr. T. M. Appleyard, who controls the commercial side at the Royal Exchange office.’
The company also employed sixteen people in the works office, and the composing-room ‘affords accommodation for thirty hands’
‘A special feature of these works is photo-lithography, a new department added about a year ago (1893)’.
This was obviously part of the general development that the printing industry was, and is still, going through. What was it though?
It was part of something called offset printing.
Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier. Ink rollers transfer ink to the image areas of the image carrier, while a water roller applies a water-based film to the non-image areas.
Lithography was initially created to be an inexpensive method of reproducing artwork. This printing process was limited to use on flat, porous surfaces because the printing plates were produced from limestone. In fact, the word "lithograph" historically means "an image from stone" or "printed from stone".
This would explain the comment from Middlesbrough Illustrated, that the photo-lithography department was ‘already noted for the high artistic character of the work turned out.’
From Wikipedia
‘The related term "photolithography" refers to the use of photographic images in lithographic printing, whether these images are printed directly from a stone or from a metal plate, as in offset printing. "Photolithography" is used synonymously with "offset printing". The technique as well as the term were introduced in Europe in the 1850s. Beginning in the 1960s, photolithography has played an important role in the fabrication and mass production of integrated circuits in the microelectronics industry.’
We hope you enjoy these images, which display the quality and variety of printing, which could be offered by W. M. Appleyard & Sons Ltd. There is also a photograph of W. M. Appleyard himself, presumably printed with Appleyard’s new photo-lithography process.

Affectionately known as the “Coca-Cola Route”, Marangu is by far the most popular route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact that the Marangu is the least expensive route, but more so, perhaps, the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu Route in 6 days. Thereby getting to the summit one day earlier than on the Machame Route.Make Your Trekking more convenient by Marangu Route

This was inspired by a Camilla flower that was not red or white, it was a little "in between". And for some reason the thought generated a gay situation as they appear to be like sex sharing a passionate kiss.

Thomas 3rd Lord Fairfax of Denton 1671 affectionately known as Black Tom. flic.kr/p/arb7EQ
During the Civil War his wife Anne was captured but was later returned to her husband by the royalists. Thomas with his baby daughter Mary fought his way to refuge in Hull.
After a brilliant and successful career as a cavalry commander in the north, Thomas was in 1645 appointed general of Parliaments New Model Army. He led that army to a series of victories which ended the struggle, the most notable being over Charles l at Naseby.
Thomas opposed the trial of the king and in 1650 the politics became too much for him, he retired to his Yorkshire estates and made the poet Andrew Marvell his daughter's tutor. 10 years later he re=emerged briefly into public life to play a large part in the restoration of Charles ll.
Amidst the destruction of the Civil War, Farifax remained a moderate, he prevented the desecration of many of Englands treasures particularly the stained glass in the churches and minster at York.
At his death his son in law the Duke of Buckingham wrote of him: "He never knew what envy was nor hate, his soul was filled with worth and honesty, and with another thing besides quite out of date, called modesty"
He said in this Will "And my body .... that it may be buried near unto the body of my most honoured and dear wife in the parish church of Bilbrough in such a manner as may be convenient and decent, rather than pompous" - Bilbrough church Yorkshire
