Samuel Cammish, Tinsmith, Scarborough

Appleby, forgot to say - I think the Cammish name originated in Filey, probably centuries ago.

A bit more information on the tinner sam that I remember.
Im told that he was a big noise, (lol), in the town silver band, as was his father.

Haha!!   Lovely, that's nice information Appleby and ties in with a memory my older sister has of being taken into the town centre in Scarborough when she was little, with my mother not long after the finish of WW2 - and a band was playing there and my mother told my sister that one of our relatives was in the band.
I went to Scarborough library this morning as they have a help desk if you are researching your Yorkshire ancestry, and they were very helpful and I even managed to get more information on my Great Grandad Samuel.  Now I have to discover whose son the Samuel Cammish was who worked in Quay Street till the 1950's, but I have been given more leads into where to look for that which is a big help.

I don't know if you have this already, but this is the Cammish tinsmith on Spread Eagle Lane.

Spread Eagle lane is right at the very end of Quay Street

Quay Scarborough, thanks for putting this photo on of my Great-Grandad Samuel Cammish's workshop, it's such a clear picture, I would love to know if Samuel is amongst the group in the photo, I guess he must be.
I have a copy of this picture, but it is very hazy compared to this photo you've put on, and on this one we can even read the sign, which is great, on my photo that's just a blur.
Thanks again for putting it on here.

To be honest I think the queue is for next door which was the Spread Eagle pub

Quay Scarborough, from the look of these people, and the relaxed way they are standing, I think they have already been to the Spread Eagle Pub
