Bloody 'ell - not often I'm right, but I'm wrong again (re Capt Cook's birthplace) it was Marton after all - and I double checked in my cherished biography of the great man.

BigPinkLad's link has a nice photo of the said Roseberry Topping, and a mention of a "trip to Coatham in Yorkshire". I made the same trip on the 63 bus to Coatham five days a week and that alone stuffed any chance I had of a decent education!

cheers, Terry
