A similar photograph of this scene can be seen on p. 26 of the book "The Stewarts of Burnby Hall", which is attributed to Major Stewart. It is thought the man to the right of the Major was Mr Suggitt, he lived in Pocklington and worked for Mr Tyne. This would be before the Major sold the farm to Mr Tyne. Mr. Tyne was Major Stewart's tenant at Willow Water Farm and also his Land Agent and bought the farm in 1927 when the Major was attempting to sell his entire estate. It is possible the boy in the photo is Tyne's son, Donald? He volunteered for the RAF during WW2, but was unfortunately killed in training.
